Description
This chapter describes the corpus of the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (ETCSL) in detail. It draws attention to some key aspects of corpus linguistics and performs a small experiment on one of the composite texts of the corpus to argue for the use of computer-assisted methods in the study of literature.
