Towards a balanced annotated Low Saxon dataset for diachronic investigation of dialectal variation
- We describe a new annotated dataset for Low Saxon with the intention to complement existing corpora. This corpus covers the period from the 15th to the 21st century and is annotated with PoS and morphosyntactic tags as well as century and region information. This dataset will be used for diachronic dialectometry, but can lend itself to other NLP tasks as well. The target size is around 2000 sentences per dialect and century and at the time of writing, 798 texts have been selected for inclusion in the corpus. They will be gradually added as the annnotation progresses.
