 Description

ParlaMint 4.0 is a set of comparable corpora containing transcriptions of parliamentary debates of 29 European countries and autonomous regions, mostly starting in 2015 and extending to mid-2022. The individual corpora comprise between 9 and 126 million words and the complete set contains over 1.1 billion words. The transcriptions are divided by days with information on the term, session and meeting, and contain speeches marked by the speaker and their role (e.g. chair, regular speaker). The speeches also contain marked-up transcriber comments, such as gaps in the transcription, interruptions, applause, etc. The corpora have extensive metadata, most importantly on speakers (name, gender, MP and minister status, party affiliation), the political parties and parliamentary groups (name, coalition/opposition status, Wikipedia-sourced left-to-right political orientation, and CHES variables, https://www.chesdata.eu/). Note that some corpora have further metadata, e.g. the year of birth of the speakers, links to their Wikipedia articles, their membership in various committees, etc. The transcriptions are also marked with the subcorpus they belong to ("reference", until 2020-01-30, "covid", from 2020-01-31, and "war", from 2022-02-24). The corpora are encoded according to the Parla-CLARIN TEI recommendation (https://clarin-eric.github.io/parla-clarin/), but have been encoded against the compatible, but much stricter ParlaMint encoding guidelines (https://clarin-eric.github.io/ParlaMint/) and schemas (included in the distribution). The ParlaMint.ana linguistic annotation includes tokenization; sentence segmentation; lemmatisation; Universal Dependencies part-of-speech, morphological features, and syntactic dependencies; and the 4-class CoNLL-2003 named entities. Some corpora also have further linguistic annotations, in particular PoS tagging according a language-specific scheme, with their corpus TEI headers giving further details on the annotation vocabularies and tools used. This entry contains the ParlaMint.ana TEI-encoded linguistically annotated corpora; the derived CoNLL-U files along with TSV metadata of the speeches; and the derived vertical files (with their registry file), suitable for use with CQP-based concordancers, such as CWB, noSketch Engine or KonText. Also included is the 4.0 release of the sample data and scripts available at the GitHub repository of the ParlaMint project at https://github.com/clarin-eric/ParlaMint and the log files produced in the process of building the corpora for this release. The log files show e.g. known errors in the corpora, while more information about known problems is available in the (open) issues at the GitHub repository of the project. This entry contains the linguistically marked-up version of the corpus, while the text version, i.e. without the linguistic annotation is available at http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1859. Another related resource is the Linguistically annotated multilingual comparable corpora of parliamentary debates in English ParlaMint-en.ana 4.0 (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1864). As opposed to the previous version 3.0, this version adds corpora for Spain (ES), Finland (FI) and the Basque Country (ES-PV); extends the corpora for Austria (AT), Czechia (CZ), Hungary (HU), and Ukraine (UA) with more recent data; adds metadata to political parties and parliamentary groups on left-to-right political orientation from Wikipedia, as well as CHES variables; adds the information on whether a speaker was a minister and when for the corpora that previously lacked this information. The TEI encoding of some details has also changed, and many errors found in 3.0 corpora have been corrected. Furthermore, the vertical files (and hence the individual corpora available on the concordancers) have their meta-data in the local language of the corpus, and not English.
