Corpus Description
The INEL Kamas corpus has been created within the long-term INEL project ("Grammatical Descriptions, Corpora and Language Technology for Indigenous Northern Eurasian Languages"), 2016–2033. The corpus makes possible typologically aware corpus-based grammatical research on the Kamas language and expands the documentation of the lesser described indigenous languages of Northern Eurasia.
The INEL Kamas corpus consists of two parts: folklore texts collected by Kai Donner in 1912–1914, and transcribed audio recordings of the last speaker of Kamas, Klavdiya Plotnikova, made between 1964 and 1970.
Each text in the corpus is provided with morphological glossing, translation into English, Russian and German, as well as annotation of syntactic functions, semantic roles, Russian borrowings and code-switching. Some texts also have annotations for information status.
New in release 2.0
Funding
The corpus has been produced in the context of the joint research funding of the German Federal Government and Federal States in the Academies’ Programme, with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The Academies’ Programme is coordinated by the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities.
