>THE OSLO CORPUS OF BOSNIAN TEXTS
>
>We are pleased to announce that the first version of the Oslo Corpus of
>Bosnian Texts is now available on the Internet.
>
>The Oslo Corpus of Bosnian Texts consists of approximately 1.5 million
>words from different genres: fiction, essays, children's stories, folklore,
>islamic texts, legal texts, and newspapers and journals. The texts are
>written by authors from Bosnia and Herzegovina and have for the most part
>been written and published in the 1990s. To some extent, it can serve as a
>basis for research on the post-war language of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
>
>The corpus has been encoded with the IMS Corpus Workbench (developed at the
>Institut fur Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung at the University of
>Stuttgart). The Text Laboratory has provided a suitable web interface. The
>corpus is thus easily accessible for queries from the Internet.
>
>The corpus is only available for research purposes, and anyone wanting to
>use it  must state this purpose explicitly by following the instructions
>given on the appropriate web-pages.
>
>General information about The Oslo Corpus of Bosnian Texts (including
>information about contents and how to get permission) can be found on these
