[Userinvolvement] CLARIN Resource Families: Overview of Literary Corpora

[Koenraad De Smedt]

Hi Darja,

Your survey seems like a good but challenging initiative. Before we can respond to your request for additions, we need a good definition of what you mean by “literary corpora” that you want to see included. Your query terms in the VLO are very narrow. They seems to exclude drama (theater), essays, philosophical and religious texts, scientific texts, history, letters, etc. On the other hand, you have already included the Corpus Middelnederlands, which does contain a very wide variety of fiction as well as nonfiction. Please clarify.

Best regards,
Koenraad

We have prepared preliminary results based on the VLO and the national CLARIN repositories: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI3vjL8XVX9ChMQ4UnlnSj_VV8R37MytJuqc_CGv6oE/edit?usp=sharing <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI3vjL8XVX9ChMQ4UnlnSj_VV8R37MytJuqc_CGv6oE/edit?usp=sharing>.

Note that we would like to focus on corpora that include only literary texts (and not, for instance, corpora that are split between fiction and non-fiction).
