How To Get The Susanne Corpus

Abstract The Susanne Corpus is distributed electronically by the Oxford Text Archive over the international network Internet. Anyone with physical access to Internet is welcome to take a copy; he needs no permission from the author or from the Archive, and there are no controls over how copies are used. The only restrictions are matters of honour rather than law: it would not be a friendly act to set up as a rival distributing centre for this resource, and, since the chief reason for creating the Susanne Corpus was to promote the SUSANNE annotation scheme, the author would be particularly sorry to see another group transpose the Susanne annotations into an alternative system and publish the new version in order to promote the other scheme. (But there is obviously no objection to research groups converting SUSANNE annotations into their preferred equivalents for their own local use; this may often be an appropriate thing to do.)
