MONO91 Indexes Compiled by Machine chapter Mary Elizabeth Stevens National Bureau of Standards Other relatively well-known examples of machine-compiled concordances include those to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (Ellison, 1957 [186]; Cook, 1957 [139]) and to Matthew Arnold's poetry (Painter, 1960 [461]; Parrish [467, 468]). The Cornell Concordance Series, under the general editorial supervision of Parrish, includes in- vestigations of Old English, such as The Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records (Bessinger, 1961 [59]). The November 1962 issue of Current Research and Development in Scientific Documentation, No. 11, [430], lists several concordances compiled by machine including the work of Sebeok [533, 534] and associates at Indiana University on Cheremis folksongs, the work on the National Vocabulary of the French language under Quemada at the University of Besancon, [OCRerr]1/ the preparation of glossaries and concordances to the works of Kant at the University of Bonn 2( , and concordances to medieval German texts being compiled by Wisbey at the University of Cambridge (Wisbey, 1962 [646], [647]). At the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, work has begun on mechanical linguistic analysis of English language texts, using the machine-readable teletypese ttertape,s used for the printing of paperback books l85]'[OCRerr]'Anoth recent (Ellegard, 1960 [184] and 1962 [ example is that of the work at the Summer School of Linguistics, University of Mexico (Grimes and Mvarez, 1961 [243]). By 1963, Marthaler writes that `1Compiling con- cordances with the aid of a computer is already standard routine to such an extent that it needs hardly be described in detail." 4/ As of January 1964, a general-purpose com- puter program for the IBM 7090 which can compile various types of concordances has been announced as available from the Mechanolinguistics Project at the University of California. (1964 [95]). 5/ The major advantage of using machines to compile concordances is, of course, the enormous difference in the time required to complete the work. Thus, only 120 hours were required on the UNIVAC computer to prepare the 800,000 words of the Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (Cook, 1957 [139]; Ellison, 1957 [186] ).6/ 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ See `1Actes du colloque sur le mecanisation. .", 1961 [1]; Quemada, 1961 [485] and 1959 [486]; Centre d'Etude du Vocabulaire Francaise, `1Specimens de Trav[OCRerr]ux lexicographiques...
