Abstract

In this paper we present the efforts to diversify Serbian-French-English-Spanish corpus ParCoLab. ParCoLab is the project led by CLLE research unit (UMR 5263 CNRS) at the University of Toulouse, France, and the Romance Department at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. The main goal of the project is to create a freely searchable and widely applicable multilingual resource with Serbian as the pivot language. Initially, the majority of the corpus texts represented written language. Since diversity of text types contributes to the usefulness and applicability of a parallel corpus, a great deal of effort has been made to include spoken language data in the ParCoLab database. Transcripts and translations of TED talks, films and cartoons have been included so far, along with transcripts of original Serbian films. Thus, the 17.6M-word database of mainly literary texts has been extended with spoken language data and it now contains 32.9M words.
