Meeting Description: 

You are cordially invited to join the webinar release of the EDGeS Diachronic
Bible Corpus on Friday 28 May 2021, 14:00-15:00 (CEST)

The EDGeS Corpus is a newly compiled corpus of historical Bible translations
in English, Dutch, German and Swedish from the fourteenth century until the
present day. The corpus brings together thirty-six historical Bible
translations in one searchable format and connects them with each other on the
verse level. This makes the EDGeS Corpus a so-called parallel corpus in both
the synchronic and diachronic dimensions. The corpus is compiled as part of
the research project The rise of complex verb constructions in Germanic
(sponsored by the Swedish Research Foundation, based at the University of
Gothenburg) and is made freely available for other researchers to use and
build upon. 
 

Program Information: 

Program of the release webinar: 
- Potential of historical parallel texts for studying language change
- Digitizing historical Bible translations through crowd sourcing
- Choices and challenges in building a historical Bible corpus
- Demonstration of the EDGeS Corpus
