Subject: RUEG completed, corpus (with English, German, Greek, Russian, Turkish data) will remain open-access


After 6 successful years, the Research Unit "Emerging Grammars in
Language-Contact Situations" (https://hu.berlin/rueg) came to an end
in March 2024.

The RUEG corpus that we created will remain accessible, through full
open access. The corpus contains naturalistic yet systematically
comparable data from language productions of a total of 774 heritage
and monolingually-raised speakers:
- in English, German, Greek, Russian, and Turkish
- in formal and informal settings, spoken and written
- by multilingual and monolingual speakers, adolescents and adults
- in Germany, Greece, Russia, Turkey, and the US

Data in the corpus were collected via elicited narrations of a short
video clip of a minor car accident. In addition to the basic
transcription (over 550K words), the data are annotated for syntactic
spans, lemmata, language, and part of speech. Subsets of the data are
also annotated for specific phonological, lexical, morphosyntactic,
and discourse-pragmatic phenomena.

We encourage everyone to keep using the RUEG corpus as a resource for
research on language contact; language variation and change; majority
and heritage language use; register differentiation; youth language;
computer-mediated communication (CMC); lexicon, morphosyntax, and
discourse-pragmatics; and much more.
