Democrat Corpus version 1.1

The Democrat corpus is a text corpus annotated in references. Referential expressions are identified and annotated with the identifier of the referent, which makes it possible to construct the reference strings. The composition of the corpus is established with the aim of studying the variation of the reference chains according to discursive genres and eras. The composition is established according to three criteria: epoch, type of text (narrative or non-narrative), text genre. The size of the corpus was considered to allow automatic language processing applications. This corpus was one of the deliverables of the ANR Democrat project.
