<div><b>Multi-CAST in a nutshell:</b><br>
</div>
<div>Multi-CAST is an online collection of annotated spoken language
corpora from a steadily expanding range of typologically diverse
languages.<br>
<br>
It features standardized annotations across multiple levels,
targeting morphosyntactic structure and reference. <br>
</div>
<div>Multi-CAST has been designed as a tool for quantitative,
corpus-based typology. <br>
</div>
<div>It is based on open-source software resources, and all data are
fully accessible under a Creative Commons licence.<br>
<br>
- 11 corpora from diverse languages<br>
- each corpus comprises at least 1000 clauses, for a total of
20000 clauses (c. 85000 words)<br>
- 10 additional corpora in preparation<br>
- multiple annotation layers for morphosyntax and referent
tracking (including zero anaphora) using unified annotation
schemes (GRAID, RefIND)<br>
- a companion R package facilitates quantitative cross-corpus
analysis<br>
