Multi-CAST Mandarin (audio recordings)
No full text<p>This archive contains audio recordings for the <strong>Multi-CAST Mandarin</strong> corpus (Vollmer 2020), originally published in January 2020 with version 2001 of the <i>Multi-CAST</i> collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p><p>The Multi-CAST <strong>Mandarin</strong> (Modern Standard Mandarin) [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/mand1415">mand1415</a>] corpus consists of traditional narratives from three native speakers of Mandarin. They were recorded in Xī'ān, PRC, by Maria Vollmer during an exchange semester in 2015 and 2016. Two of the speakers are originally from Northeast China (Dōngběi), the third hails from Xī'ān.</p><p>The stories were transcribed by Liu Ruoyu in 2016 and 2017 under the supervision of Maria Vollmer, and subsequently translated, glossed, and annotated with GRAID between 2016 and 2019 by Maria Vollmer. Annotations with RefIND and ISNRef were added by Maria Vollmer and Adrian Kuqi in 2019. Further stories have been recorded and transcribed and will be added to the corpus in the future.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Citation</strong></p><ul><li>Vollmer, Maria. 2020. Multi-CAST Mandarin.

The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p><p><strong>Arta</strong> [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/arta1239">arta1239</a>] is an endangered Austronesian language spoken by a group of hunter-gatherers living in Luzon, the Philippines. The number of fluent speakers is between nine and eleven, most of which are over the age of forty. Since all speakers have settled down in the communities of neighboring Negrito groups (Casiguran/Nagitupunan Agta people), the language is not in active use and no longer taught to children. All of the speakers are multilingual with Casiguran/Nagtipunan Agta and Ilokano.</p><p>The texts were collected by Yukinori Kimoto during fieldwork in the Quirino and Aurora provinces in Luzon between 2012 and 2018.

Multi-CAST Sanzhi Dargwa (audio recordings)
No full text<p>This archive contains audio recordings for the <strong>Multi-CAST Sanzhi Dargwa</strong> corpus (Forker & Schiborr 2019), originally published in May 2019 with version 1905 of the <em>Multi-CAST</em> collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p>
<p><strong>Sanzhi Dargwa</strong> [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/sanz1248">sanz1248]</a> is a Nakh-Daghestanian (Caucasian) language from the Dargwa subbranch. From 1968 onwards, over a relatively short time span, all Sanzhi speakers left their village of Sanzhi in the mountains of central Daghestan, Russia, to move to linguistically and ethnically heterogeneous settlements in the lowlands. Today Sanzhi is spoken by approximately 250 speakers and heavily endangered.</p>
<p>The eight texts in this corpus represent a small subset of the material that was recorded, transcribed, translated, and glossed by Diana Forker with the assistance of Gadzhimurad Gadzhimuradov, a native speaker, as part of a <a href="http://dobes.mpi.nl/projects/shiri_sanzhi/">DOBES language documentation project</a> (2012–2019), which has culminated in a grammar of Sanzhi Dargwa (Forker 2020).</p>
<p>The texts presented here are a mixture of autobiographical and traditional narratives. They were annotated for Multi-CAST by Nils Schiborr.</p>

RefIND — Referent indexing in natural-language discourse (annotation guidelines)
Get PDF<p><strong>RefIND</strong> (<em>Referent Indexing in Natural-Language Discourse</em>) is a set of corpus annotation conventions designed for the purpose of addressing research questions in the area of reference and discourse structure. RefIND annotations target the linguistic expressions of abstract discourse referents and consist primarily of multi-digit numerical glosses that uniquely identify each occurrence of a discourse referent in a given text. RefIND annotations are intended to complement and extend other annotation schemata such as <a href="https://doi.org/10.48564/unibafd-dytp1-q4t70">GRAID</a> (Haig & Schnell 2014). See the <a href="https://doi.org/10.48564/unibafd-nzvjx-4x932"><em>Multi-CAST collection</em></a> of corpora (Haig & Schnell 2015) for an example.</p>

Multi-CAST Tondano (audio recordings)

All Minahasan languages are endangered and have been shifting to the most commonly used language of wider communication, Manado Malay [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/mala1481">mala1481]</a>, since the early 20th century (Wolff 2010: 299). Personal experience of the researcher estimates the number of fluent speakers of Tondano at around 30 000.</p><p>This corpus is the result of fieldwork undertaken by Timothy Brickell as part of PhD candidature at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia between 2011 and 2015 (see Brickell 2015). The speakers recorded were of both genders, of various ages, and from a number of professions, with many older speakers already retired. The texts in Multi-CAST constitute a subset of the 20 recordings made by Brickell. In some instances speakers discuss a topic chosen just prior to recording, in others they talk while engaging in traditional activities, while in some they narrate an elicitation video which depicts other community members carrying out traditional cultural activities.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Citation</strong></p><ul><li>Brickell, Timothy. 2016.

Multi-CAST Vera'a (audio recordings)
No full text<p>This archive contains audio recordings for the <strong>Multi-CAST Vera'a</strong> corpus (Schnell 2015), originally published in May 2015 with version 1505 of the <i>Multi-CAST</i> collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p><p><strong>Vera'a</strong> [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/vera1241">vera1241</a>], is an Oceanic (Austronesian) language from the village of the same name on Vanua Lava, one of the Banks Islands in North Vanuatu. The language has approximately 450 speakers and is the first language of most inhabitants of Vera'a and the coastline to the north of it. Vera'a is closely related to the neighbouring language Vurës, and speakers of Vera'a also speak Vurës.</p><p>Both languages have been extensively documented within a VolkswagenStiftung-funded <a href="http://dobes.mpi.nl/projects/vures_veraa/">DOBES documentation project</a> (2006–2012; PI: Dr Catriona Hyslop-Malau). Vera'a has been the focus of Stefan Schnell's PhD project at Kiel University (2007–2010, see Schnell 2011), and Schnell has subsequently been undertaking additional documentary work on Vera'a as part of his ARC-funded DECRA project <i>Typology of Language Use</i> (ARC grant no. DE120102017) in 2012–2015, hosted by La Trobe University (Melbourne, Australia).</p><p>The Multi-CAST Vera'a corpus consists of 10 folkloristic narrative texts collected and annotated by Stefan Schnell. They constitute a subcorpus of a larger corpus of Vera'a compiled and curated by Stefan Schnell in close collaboration with speakers of the language and researchers of other disciplines from outside the community. Annotations with RefIND were added to the corpus in 2019 by Stefan Schnell and Maria Vollmer.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Citation</strong></p><ul><li>Schnell, Stefan. 2015. Multi-CAST Vera'a.
