Scholars with solid experience in this area could have ex- plored the possibilities and limitations of these systems; the ways in which elec- tronic texts can further current research; new areas of humanities research that now can be effectively tapped by using electronic texts; the searching capabilities and effectiveness comparing the SGML- encoded text corpora to the ARTFL data- base (Chicago) of French texts that does not use SGML; the usefulness and/ or limitations of minim a l structural markup and the possible need for more sophisticated but expensive higher-level markup; innovative ways of incorporat- ing electronic texts in day-to-day teach- ing, their requirements of and needs for analytical tools; and the impact of these systems on humanities research method- ology. cache/crl-15029.pdf txt/crl-15029.txt
