  • What is a Corpus?

    • A corpus is a large, usually computerized, database of spoken and/or written texts of a language, which allows for “searching for, retrieveing, sorting and calculating lingusitic data” (McEnery & Wilson 1996: 17).

  • Aim of the Project

    • The aim of METU Spoken Turkish Corpus Project (ODT-STD) is to construct a linguistically analyzed corpus consisting of one million words of face-to-face or mediated interactions in contemporary Turkish. The corpus will be made available to academia and researchers in all areas of studies related to language.
