The Texas German Dialect Project (TGDP) and linguisticbits.de are proud to announce that the first official version of the TGDP corpus platform is now online at:
https://tgdp-zumult.la.utexas.edu/
The platform is based on ZuMult and provides access to the Texas German Corpus which TGDP has been building up for more than twenty years. This new version has almost 500 open-ended interviews (166 hours) with speakers of Texas German, totalling more than 1.2 million tokens of transcribed text for this unique variety of German.
Transcriptions have been translated to English, orthographically normalized, lemmatized and part-of speech tagged following an approach developed in Margo Blevin’s dissertation.
The platform now makes this data available for browsing and querying. A one-time free registration is required.
