CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

Sampling Declaration

The whole has been retained.

Editorial Declaration

Correction

Revision 2. Text has been checked, proof-read twice, and parsed using NSGMLS. Corrections are welcome and will be credited to those making them.

Normalization

The electronic text represents the published text. Titles, such as those of newspapers are tagged title; such titles are usually in italic but it has not been thought necessary to mark the rendition.

Quotation

Quotation marks are rendered q; where quotation marks are used to highlight words these are tagged hi; but the boundary betwen the two is fluid and the markup consequently, to a degree, subjective. Lengthy quotations and citations of significant legal and other documents are embedded as separate texts.

Hyphenation

The editorial practice of the hard-copy editors has been retained. Soft hyphens have not been retained.

Segmentation

div0=the whole text; div1=individual sessions of parliament.

Interpretation

Speeches are tagged sp, and speakers are taggedspeaker. Otherwise, names of persons (given names), and places are not tagged. Terms for cultural and social roles are not tagged. Interruptions from the floor of the house, and descriptions of exits, divisions, etc. are tagged stage.

Canonical References

This text uses the DIV1 element to represent the Session.

Profile Description

Created: By the Cabinet Ministers and Deputies of Dáil Eireann Date range: 1921-12-14 to 1922-01-10.

Use of language

Language: [EN] Most of the text is in English apart from some material in Irish, usually introductions to lengthy speeches in English, or technical terms in Irish.
Language: [GA] Short speeches and portions of speeches in Irish. Technical terms e.g. Sinn Féin, Saorstá Éireann and Dáil Éireann. It has not been thought worthwhile to tag these linguistically. The idiosyncratic spelling and use of length-marks in the original has been allowed stand. In parliamentary divisions the members' names are recorded in the Irish form, and there are small variations of spelling. Neither the names themselves nor the variations have been tagged.
Language: [LA] Occasional Latin tags. These are tagged.
Language: [FR] Occasional French clichés. These are tagged.
