Abstract:
The intention was to compile a collection of texts, which was representative of
both 'standard French' and argot from 1865 to 1895. It was decided at the
outset that the corpus would contain only written texts. The literary component
of the corpus was compiled using random selection procedures from a
bibliographical list. Since there was no readily available list of electronic
literary texts published between 1865 and 1895, it was necessary to compile
one using a number of library and academic text archive sites. The use of
random sampling ensured that all texts in the population had a chance of being
selected, and thus removed the possibility of their being any subjectivity or
personal bias involved in the selected process. In addition to random sampling,
another method of sampling was used in the construction of the corpus:
stratified sampling.
