Archi text corpus
Data
Here is presented a sample of texts collected in Archi in 2006 and 2007. In total, over 50 texts of various genres have been recorded,
including stories, conversations, tales, legends and songs. Most of them were recorded in both video and audio.
Two kinds of texts were recorded. First, some 30 previously published (1977) texts were re-recorded in video and audio, read by
one of three speakers. (The original recordings do not exist anymore). Second, new texts have been collected, mostly dialogues and stories.
