E-mail this message to a friend New resource: Searchable corpus with informal notes from multilingual urban Germany
From the ’Hood With Love – KiDKo/LL
We are pleased to announce the launch of KiDKo/LL, a new corpus with tagged photos of informal notes (many of them love messages) from multilingual urban Germany that can be used for studies on linguistic landscapes, multilingualism, and youth language.
The corpus assembles photos of love notes on walls, park benches, and playgrounds, graffiti in house entrances, scribbled messages on toilet walls, etc.
The photos are tagged for photographer, language(s), place (city, quarter, street), object (wall, toilet door,...), date of shot, original text, translated text, text in standard writing, key words, and linguistic phenomena.
The photo database is searchable online for tags and combinations of tags.
The corpus can be reached at:
http://www.kiezdeutschkorpus.de/en/kidko-ll-linguistic-landscape KiDKo/LL is associated with the KiezDeutsch-Korpus (KiDKo,
www.kiezdeutschkorpus.de), a corpus of spontaneous conversations in informal peer group situations in urban Germany.
Additions to the corpus are welcome. Please send photos and information (for tagging) to us for upload.
