We present the MultiplEYE Text Corpus, a large-scale, document-level, multi-parallel resource designed to advance cross-linguistic research on reading and language processing. The corpus provides paragraph-level alignment for texts in 39 languages spanning seven language families and seven scripts. Unlike many existing multilingual corpora, a substantial number of documents were originally written in languages other than English, reducing English-centric bias and supporting more typologically diverse investigations. The texts are carefully selected to balance linguistic richness with experimental feasibility, particularly for eye-tracking-while-reading studies. Developed within a multi-lab initiative, the MultiplEYE Text Corpus follows unified translation, alignment, and experimental design guidelines to ensure cross-linguistic comparability. Its inclusion of texts varying in type and difficulty enables research on discourselevel processing, genre effects, and individual differences across a wide range of languages. The text corpus and accompanying metadata provide a robust foundation for multilingual psycholinguistic and computational modeling research.

The aim of this study was to compare the morphological complexity in a corpus representing the language production of younger and older children across different languages. The language samples were taken from the Frog Story subcorpus of the CHILDES corpora, which comprises oral narratives collected by various researchers between 1990 and 2005. We extracted narratives by typically developing, monolingual, middle-class children. Additionally, samples of Lithuanian language, collected according to the same principles, were added. The corpus comprises 249 narratives evenly distributed across eight languages: Croatian, English, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Russian and Spanish. Two subcorpora were formed for each language: a younger children corpus and an older children corpus. Four measures of morphological complexity were calculated for each subcorpus: Bane, Kolmogorov, Word entropy and Relative entropy of word structure. The results showed that younger children corpora had lower morphological complexity than older children corpora for all four measures for Spanish and Russian. Reversed results were obtained for English and French, and the results for the remaining four languages showed variation. Relative entropy of word structure proved to be indicative of age differences. Word entropy and relative entropy of word structure show potential to demonstrate typological differences.
