LanguageWare and the 1641 Depositions
As supplied, LanguageWare can process modern English vocabulary and syntax. However, the EME of the Depositions poses significant problems, arising from grammatical variability, e.g., -eth endings on 3rd person singular verbs, erratic punctuation and a wide range of orthographic variation. These differences were a serious challenge to LanguageWare’s applicability for the project.
