We are excited to announce the release of the first parsed corpus of spoken Dutch dialects, the Gesproken Corpus van de zuidelijk-Nederlandse Dialecten (GCND). This resource offers extensive data for linguistic research and is now accessible online.
Corpus Highlights: * Speakers: 1,206 individuals, with the eldest born in 1871. * Geographical Coverage: 639 distinct locations. * Audio Data: Over 430 hours of recordings across 650 sessions. * Transcriptions: Over 600 time-aligned, highly detailed transcriptions. * Total Tokens: Approximately 4.77 million. * GrETEL Treebank: 50,111 verified sentences and 452,459 verified tokens. These figures represent the corpus as of its initial release. Ongoing efforts, supported by additional funding (GCND+), aim to expand the corpus with more transcriptions, including northern dialects from the Meertens Institute collection, and to enhance grammatical annotations. The latest updates are available through the corpus application.
