The code-switching corpus consists of 5x30-minute conversations between four speakers (i.e. a total of 20 speakers). The speakers are bilingual speakers of Papiamento (a creole langauge spoken in the Dutch Antilles) and Dutch. In the course of their free conversations, they engage in code-switching, that is, they use both languages within the same utterance in systematic ways. The corpus is fully transcribed and glossed, coded for language and word class, in ELAN.
The Corpus NGT is a collection of data from deaf signers using Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). The data consist of recordings with multiple synchronised video cameras, accompanied by gloss and translation annotations.
The Netherlands Veterans Institute (VI) hosts about 250 interviews (audio) in which Dutch former military personel speak about their experiences during World War II (interviews about the years 1935-1945) and decolonisation in the Dutch East Indies (1945-1950) and Dutch New Guinea (1960-1962). In the project Living Oral History Workbench these interviews have been indexed by automatic speech recognition techniques. The list of interviews and their metadata are available at the CLARIN Center; researchers may apply to VI for access to the data.
The Visibase corpus is the outcome of a NWO Investment Grant (1996-2001), which aimed to digitise and describe all sign language video material that was present in the late 1990s at the sign language research groups at the University of Amsterdam and at Leiden University. In the course of the project, all analogue video tapes were copied to professional digital video tapes (DVCAM). Fragments of the 300+ hour corpus have been converted to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files.
