The Corpus of Contemporary Kurdish Newspaper Texts

Description

The CCKNT comprises written Northern Kurdish (Kurmanjî) journalistic texts, compiled from online newspaper texts in 1999. The corpus consists of 483 texts, totalling around 214 000 words. It contains texts from two Kurdish publications: Azadiya Welat, a weekly Kurdish newspaper, and CTV, a company that broadcasts news items in Kurdish on the internet. The texts are not tagged or translated.

The corpus was compiled as part of a project on modern Kurdish syntax, conducted from 1999–2001 at the Seminar für Allgemeine und Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft at the University of Kiel.
