Listed in Borealis
This dataset is in support of the Master's thesis research entitled "A’ faighneachd Mhic-Talla [Asking the Echo]: A corpus-based approach to vernacular classification of Gaelic songs." The purpose of this research was to identify vernacular classifications of Gaelic songs.
Description
The original data for this study consisted of textual data from the all-Gaelic newspaper Mac-Talla (1892-1904) and was sourced from two institutions: DASG (Digital Archive of Scottish Gaelic) and the Angus L. Macdonald Library at St.
Francis Xavier University. Two pages that were missing from the Angus L. Macdonald Library collection were not included in this study: October 8, 1892, volume 1, number 20, pp. 3-4. File 01 (README.txt) contains contextual documentation for this dataset.
