Projet Émergence CoRalHis
PRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION (OF THE PROJECT)
The project Comparing Romance Languages through History (CoRaLHis): building a multilingual parallel diachronic corpus (13th-18th C.) aims to provide a thorough understanding of how languages diverge from each other over time in the field of Romance languages. In order to do so, it presents a consortium of already existing corpora, which are integrated into a multilingual digital corpus of comparable texts from the 13th to 18th C. for Romania’s three main areas (Gallo-, Italo- and Ibero-Romance), in order to allow a large-scale and fine-grained empirically analysis of linguistic change in the different Romance languages.

DETAILED INFORMATION
A formal agreement will be signed with the person in charge of each of the above-mentioned corpora in order to establish the terms and conditions of the collaboration, with a special regard on the legal issues derived form the use of texts.
After the first in-person meeting in Zurich in November 2019, a second (online, due to the pandemic situation) meeting took place in April 2020, where several details were settled on and a concrete action plan was agreed on by the partners.
