The Chinese language Law Corpus (#ChinLaC) is a diachronic corpus of Chinese laws and regulations from the ’50s to present days. It consists of more than 400 texts covering the codes and the legislative texts of the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, including some randomly selected amendments of these. It aims to be representative of the modern Chinese legal language as a textual genre. Texts were collected from institutional and governmental repositories. Each text has been saved in .txt format so to make it readable by commonly used software tools for corpus analysis, such as Sketch Engine, AntConc, and #LancsBox. The corpus comes with a metadata file, whereby each file has been coded for language, territorial entity, implementation, and amendment dates.
