The Krio Corpus consists of 33 short stories and transcribed narrations and a total of 937 phrases (8299 words).You can access the corpus from the TypeCraft [[Special:TypeCraft/PortalOfLanguages|Portal of Language]]

In the list of Krio texts you find texts owned by [[User:Beatrice Owusua Nyampong|Beatrice Owusua Nyampong]] and by the [[User:Typecraft|TypeCraft project]]. The latter corpus is a further development of the Nyampong corpus. Some of the annotations of the Nyampong corpus have been rectified. Preserving the resource, we in addition added new layers of annotation reflecting the Kri TMA system in the light of the analysis presented in Beermann 2016 <ref>Dorothee Beermann (2016) Features and Domains.

The Krio Corpus consists of 33 short stories and transcribed narrations and a total of 937 phrases (8299 words). For all phrases in the corpus that have been annotated, it is layered in a systematical fashion of three analytical tiers, a meaning tier and a Gloss and POS tier.

About the TypeCraft Krio Corpus

The Krio Corpus consists of 33 short stories and transcribed narrations and a total of 937 phrases (8299 words).You can access the corpus from the TypeCraft Portal of Language In the list of Krio texts you find texts owned by Beatrice Owusua Nyampong and by the TypeCraft project. The latter corpus is a further development of the Nyampong corpus. Some of the annotations of the Nyampong corpus have been rectified. Preserving the resource, we in addition added new layers of annotation reflecting the Kri TMA system in the light of the analysis presented in Beermann 2016 [1]



Krio narratives

Currently, we explore oral narratives with respect to time anchoring and event chains. One of these narratives can be found on the Krio narrative page, as parallel Krio -English text. We also added it audio source which we transcribed, as a mp3 file. If you are interested in the wave file, please contact the TypeCraft project.

The Krio TC-Corpus is an TC-XML corpus of 86 interlinear glossed Krio texts. The October release 19 has been compiled by Dorothee Beermann, Anna Struck and Beatrice Nyampong, TypeCraft Project, Polytext, Oslo.


About the project

The objective of our study is to model the Krio TMA system using a written Krio corpus. We have studied the system in terms of the grammatical features that are present in our corpus. For our study of the Krio narrative we have imported these features into the narrative domain which imposes its own set of features. This leads to a new relationship between feature sets which we aim to describe.

Our theoretical aim is to present a domain analysis of features in order to model them according to the requirements introduced by the domain.

Our practical aim is to use the model to achieve a more realistic description of the Krio TMA system in terms of its features and the use of its exponents. [2]


Tense, Modality, Aspect

Our Krio corpus has received in-depth morpho-syntactic annotations. In order to describe the Krio TMA features we have made use of the following attributes and values:

Tense Modality Aspect
Past Dynamic Continuous
Past Perfect Epistemic Inceptive
Perfect Deontic Completive
Future Conditional Habitual


This are the gloss and part of speech tags we assigned to the verbal categories:


Gloss tags and POS tags











Morphological template

The verbal tense system has a particular ordering that can be expressed as a formula:

past [0...1] ⊰ MODAL [0...1] ⊰ TNS-perf [0...1] ⊰ ASP [0...2] ROOT ⊱ASP-compl [0...1]



Particularities

The perfect tense
The Krio perfect is formed using dɔn which is derived from the Krio verb dɔn 'finish'. As a tense marker the verb occurs in a preverbal or pre-copular position. In a post verbal position dɔn marks the completive aspect.


The future tense
The Krio future marker is the preverb gò which is derived from the Krio verb go. The Krio future refers to a time after the time in focus.


Modality
Kin marks as a preverb habitual aspect; as a modal verb it expresses dynamic modality (ability), as well as epistemic modality. It also naturally occurs in conditional construction, communicating contingent possibility.


Annotation profiles

Our overall annotation profile for Krio is shown in Table 2.
