+# Corpus of Spanish Golden-Age Sonnets
+
+## Introduction
+This corpus comprises sonnets written in Spanish between the 16th and 17th centuries.
+
+Each sonnet has been annotated in XML in accordance with the TEI standard. Besides the header and structural information, each sonnet includes the formal representation of each verse’s particular **metrical pattern**.
+
+The pattern consists of a sequence of unstressed syllables (represented by the "-" sign) and stressed syllables ("+" sign). Thus, each verse’s metrical pattern is represented as follows:
+
+	<l n="1" met="---+---+-+-">Cuando me paro a contemplar mi estado,</l>
+
+## Poets
+With the purpose of having a corpus as representative as possible, every author from the 16th and 17th centuries with more than 10 digitalized and available sonnets has been included.
+
+All texts have been taken from the [Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes](http://www.cervantesvirtual.com/).
+
+Currently, the corpus comprises more than 5,000 sonnets (more than 71,000 verses).
+
+## Annotation
+The metrical pattern annotation has been carried out in a semi-automatic way. Firstly, all sonnets have been processed by an automatic metrical scansion system which assigns a distinct metrical pattern to each verse. Secondly, a part of the corpus has been manually checked and errors have been corrected.
+
+Currently the corpus is going through the manual validation phase, and each sonnet includes information about whether it has already been manually checked or not.
