East meets West: Producing Multilingual Resources in a European Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
The EU concerted action TELRI has released a two-volume CD-ROM, which contains multilingual language resources, namely corpora, lexica, and tools for language engineering. This CD-ROM provides harmonised resources for unprecedented numbers and kinds of languages, mainly from non-EU countries, for which such resources still tend to be scarce. The first volume of the CD-ROM includes the aligned text of Plato's Republic in twenty one languages plus other tools and resources, while the second volume contains extended results of the EU MULTEXT-East project, including the aligned and tagged novel '1984' by George Orwell and accompanying lexica in seven languages. The paper presents the CD-ROM, the methods employed in its creation and its prospective uses.
