Corpus Description

The Selkup Language Corpus has been created within the project Syntactic description of the Central and Southern Selkup dialects: a corpus based analyses (supported by the German Research Grant; WA 3153/3-1). The primary goal of the project is to build a corpus and research syntactic structures on its base.

This project fills basic gaps in the existing research of Selkup syntax, makes materials widely accessible and digitally searchable and provides information on this lesser known and severely endangered Uralic language.

This version contains 144 communications with glossed (FLEx) and annotated (EXMARaLDA) transcripts from 53 speakers, 26 communications are in Northern Selkup, 48 in Central Selkup and 66 in Southern Selkup, 4 communications are in a mixed dialect (Central/Southern Selkup). All texts have been translated into English and German, most of them are also available in Russian. The corpus also contains rich metadata on the communications and speakers.
