Access Multi-CAST annotation data
Description
multicast
downloads corpus data from the Multi-CAST collection (Haig &
Schnell 2015) from the servers of the University of Bamberg. As the
Multi-CAST collection is continuously evolving through the addition of
further data sets and the revision of older annotations, the multicast
function takes an optional argument vkey
to select earlier versions of
the annotation data, ensuring scientific accountability and the
reproducibility of results.
