<H4>The corpus</H4>

The second edition of the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English
(PPCME2) consists of a million and a half words of syntactically
annotated Middle English prose based on the Middle English portion of
the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts (created under the direction of
Matti Rissanen and Ossi Ihalainen, University of Helsinki).  The
annotation work was supported by the National Science Foundation (Grants
#BNS89-19701 and #SBR95-11368) and by the University of Pennsylvania
Research Foundation.
