Participants:

• Hanna
• Michael

Place:

• Freiburg

Time:

• 30 April 2014, 4–5pm

Topics

• the N-Kurdish texts are still in the preparing phase, ELAN -files of the digitized transcription are being annotated, but the English translation from Kurdish takes much more time than estimated
• therefore Hanna will use only a few Kurdish texts for her pilote study, but include Skolt Saami (the Lagercrantz-texts digitized by Julia) instead, these Skolt Saami texts are all already translated and pos-tagging is almost finished
• our working copies of the ELAN -files for the Kurdish/Skolt pilote study will be subversioned on Tromsø-SVN; copyright allows us to store the N-Kurdish data in the open domain (i.e. freecorpus)
• however, our preliminary solution for collaborative work on the ELAN -files is still Dropbox until Hanna has her new computer with Linux/Unix and is registered at victorio

Open questions:

• Hanna: which other Kurdish languages to include in the final study?
• Michael: which other Saami languages to include in the final study?

Tasks:

• Hanna: check wether or not there are any computational linguistic tools and/or electronic lexical databases available for Kurdish (or perhaps closely related languages)
• Michael: adjust the ELAN -tier structure once the annotations of the first files are completed
• Michael: create two additional tiers for GRAID 's "form" and "function" tags and document this in an appendix for the the GRAID manual

Next meeting:

• 14 May Freiburg
