Hamburg Modern Times Corpus (HaMoTiC)

HZSK Hamburger Zentrum für Sprachkorpora

Audio recordings of a film retelling task with adult L2 users of German. The speakers' L1 and their L2 proficiencies vary. 24 communications + 1 German reference communication, duration between 2 and 16 minutes. For each speaker, a language learner biography (audio and freely transcribes) is available.

The Hamburg Modern Times Corpus (HaMoTiC) consists of transcribed audio recordings of learners of German at different proficiency levels who renarrate a few scenes from the silent film "Modern Times" (USA 1936, Charles Chaplin). The corpus was compiled at the Hamburg Centre for Language Corpora (HZSK) in 2012 and 2013 with the intent to create a corpus that is analogous to data created within the ESF project 'Second language acquisition by adult immigrants' (cf. Perdue & Klein, 1992). For this purpose the original video clip was made available to us by the IMDI Corpus Archive of the Max Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The main objective was thus both to create a comparable linguistic resource based on existing data and also to demonstrate the functionality of the EXMARaLDA tools for transcription, annotation and analysis of spoken language corpora. The structural design of HaMoTiC is derived from the Hamburg Map Task Corpus (HAMATAC), that was developed in 2010. In terms of their content, HAMATAC and HaMoTiC complement each other with regard to their authenticity and the degree of control of learner language.
