About
This website presents the results of my masterthesis “Language Change as a Challenge: Part-of-Speech Tagging Historical English Fiction”, which has been submitted to the Faculty of History and Cultural Studies of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in January 2019.
For further information, including the source code of the project, the goldstandard, the clusters, and the tagging results of baseline and final tests, please visit my repository on Gitlab.
This website was designed using Jekyll, the Jekyll theme Much-Worse designed by Gaurav Chaurasia, and the JavaScript library Chart.js.
