Description
This chapter applies the methods of Stubbs and Marth (2003) -- the study of recurrent word chains as text-type discriminators -- to the vocabulary of literary Sumerian. It also aims to introduce the corpus linguist to important aspects of Sumerian and to introduce the Sumerologist to corpus approaches.
