Finnish Telegraphese Corpus

https://kitwiki.csc.fi/twiki/bin/view/FinCLARIN/FinClarinSiteUEF

Computer corpus of Finnish telegraphese language (with English interlinears and translation).

The Finnish Telegraphese Corpus is a product of a cross-linguistic study of telegraphic language produced by normal adult subjects (university students) to describe a set of states of affairs. The responses were gathered in written questionnaire format, and the states of affairs to be described were held semantically identical across the languages studied. A selection of published studies of the project is listed below.
