SwissAdmin - A multilingual tagged parallel corpus of press releases

Description

SwissAdmin is a new multilingual corpus of press releases from the Swiss Federal Administration, available in German, French, Italian and English. We provide SwissAdmin in three versions:

• plain texts of approximately 6 to 8 million words per language;
• sentence-aligned bilingual texts for each language pair;
• a part-of-speech-tagged version consisting of annotations in both the Universal tagset and the richer Fips tagset, along with grammatical functions, verb valencies and collocations.

The original texts are available at http://www.news.admin.ch. The copyright of the original texts remains owned by the Swiss Confederation. See http://www.disclaimer.admin.ch/terms_and_conditions.html for further information.
