TypeCraft in-depth annotation of representative texts from Lule Sami

The in-depth annotation of Lule Sami text is a pilot study financed by the Universtiy of Science and Technology . The project uses the TypeCraft database to store and retrieve linguistically annotated texts. Here and on the related pages Documenting Lule Sami and About Lule Sami we report about this project. While the present page gives a general overview, Documenting Lule Sami deals with issues concerning the morpho-syntactic annotation of Lule Sami. About Lule Sami informs about the Lule Sami people and their language, as it is spoken on the Norwegian side of the Kjølen mountains. Under Lule_Saami_online you find links to other sites related to the Lule Sami people their language and their culture.

SÁMI - SAMI - SAAMI

According to the Norwegian Sami Parliamnet, sáme is to be written Sami in English. The Árran Lule Sami Centre, which we consulted follows this norm and so will we.

In-depth annotation

The TypeCraft pilot study on Lule Sami has been financed by the Faculty of Humanities at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The project started in Mai 2008 and will end in December 2008. Its goal it to create a small but representative corpus of Lule Sami texts, and to annotate these texts manually. Given the short duration of the study we will not be able to cover all of the texts that we selected for annotation. However, for some of the texts we have provided rich annotations on several tiers. Although construction level annotation is possible in TypeCraft, we have concentrated on for word-level annotation.

Below you find a list of all Lule Sami texts available in TypeCraft, including partially annotated and not yet annotated texts.
