Preface

The Corpus of Early English Correspondence (CEEC) and the Corpus of Early English Correspondence Sampler (CEECS) have been compiled by the Sociolinguistics and Language History project team at the Department of English, University of Helsinki. The project has been funded by the Academy of Finland (1993-95) and the University of Helsinki (1996-98). The team is lead by Professor Terttu Nevalainen and includes senior researcher Helena Raumolin-Brunberg, and researchers Jukka Keränen, Minna Nevala, Arja Nurmi and Minna Palander-Collin. We have been helped in the compilation of the corpus by Kirsi Heikkonen, and in the proof-reading by Alistair Melville-Smith, Taru Nurmi, Arja-Liisa Rossi, Reza Sanatnama, Heli Tissari and Anne Virolainen.
