Fenno-Ugrica Content Available in a New Platform – Korp
Since the very beginning of the Digitization Project of Kindred Languages, our objective has been the securing the wider-than-usual availability of new corpora, which do base to the digitized material. Our primary intention has to spread the Fenno-Ugrica data to such tools and environments, which are made available for both, the academic and the language communities.
We are getting there
In 2015, our mission has been the improvement of the usage and usability of digitized content. During the project, we have advanced methods that will refine the raw data for further use, especially in the linguistic research. Finally, we have reached the stage, in which we may start producing the word lists out of digitized and edited content and we have now released some word lists (arranged by frequency and “all hits”) in 12 languages in Fenno-Ugrica.
