Corpus of spoken isiXhosa
Listed in Researchdata.se
The Corpus of Spoken isiXhosa The Corpus of Spoken isiXhosa consists of transcribed and annotated recordings of spoken Xhosa [xho].
Description
The recordings have been made in the Eastern Cape in South Africa from 2015 onwards. The transcribed texts are annotated with morpheme-by-morpheme glosses, part-of-speech tags, and free English translations.
The recordings and the annotations of Xhosa data have been made as part of three different research projects led by senior lecturer Eva-Marie Bloom Ström at the University of Gothenburg. All projects, including the ongoing ‘How do words get in order? The role of speaker-hearer interaction in languages of southern Africa’, were founded by the Swedish Research Council.
