The Texas German Dialect Project (tgdp.org) and linguisticbits.de are
proud to announce the most recent release of Texas German
sociolinguistic interview data is now online at:
https://tgdp-zumult.la.utexas.edu/index.jsp.
Version 2.1 (released in December 2025) offers browsing and query of
over 500 interviews with speakers of Texas German. Transcribed data
have annotation layers for language, orthographic normalization,
lemmatization, Part-of-Speech (STTS 2.0), Universal Dependency
Part-of-Speech (new in version 2.1), and English translations. All of
these layers, as well as metadata for interviews and speakers can be
included in CQP queries.
Version 2.1 also includes a newly published dataset: recordings and
transcriptions of Texas German sociolinguistic interviews from the
1960s. These recordings, collected by Glenn Gilbert, allow researchers
to investigate how Texas German has changed over the last 50+ years.
Besides new data and annotations, the new version also comes with some
improvements to usability and navigation.
Feel free to register (it's free!) and explore this corpus.
