[Corpora-List] New Portuguese-English corpus available

[Diana Santos]

We are pleased to announce that CorTrad, a subproject of the COMET project, is now available for search on the Web at http://www.fflch.usp.br/dlm/comet/consulta_cortrad.html

Making CorTrad available on the Web is a joint USP (http://www.usp.br/internacional/home.php?&idioma=en), NILC (http://www.nilc.icmc.usp.br/nilc/) and Linguateca (http://www.linguateca.pt) project, using the DISPARA system.

CorTrad features two special properties:
it is multiversion (with several versions of a translated text)
it has specific search capabilities relative to the structure of the specific texts

Currently it comprises three subcorpora:
- technical text, with a Brazilian cookbook translated into English
- scientific magazine, with Brazilian short research news translated into English
- Australian short stories translated into Portuguese

The corpora are annotated with PALAVRAS for Portuguese and with CLAWS for English.

We welcome comments and feedback!
