Swedish Telegraphese Corpus

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

Computer corpus of Swedish telegraphese language (with English interlinears and translation), compiled by Elisabeth Ahlsén (Linguistics, U. Göteborg), and analyzed (tagged & translated) and finalized by Jussi Niemi.

The Swedish Telegraphese Corpus is the 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.
