About

A linguistic corpus is a collection of language productions (text/oral/multimodal data) selected and brought together in order to reveal something about human behaviour. Bilingual and multilingual corpora are very common in language studies and are relevant to researchers working, among other domains, in historical linguistics, language acquisition, variation, dialectal and typology studies.

The objective of this Café is to focus on the features of bi-/multilingual parallel, comparable and dialectal corpora (new or already published), and provide demonstrations on how to collect/build, annotate, explore, analyse and archive them in an interoperable way. 

Each demo will include hands-on presentations and best practice recommendations for:

  • Bi-/multilingual corpus building/collection and metadata
  • Corpus exploitation (principles and tools of transcription, annotation)
  • Data exploration, cleaning, output reorganisation and analysis
  • FAIR issues and perspectives for knowledge sharing.
