Abstract
This paper describes the SpeechReporting Corpus, an online collection of corpora annotated for a range of discourse phenomena. The corpora contain folktales from 7 lesser-studied West African languages. Apart from its value for theoretical linguistics, especially for the study of reported speech, the database is an important resource for the preservation of intangible cultural heritage of minority languages and the development and testing of cross-linguistically applicable computational tools.- Anthology ID:
