Kennen Sie schon … die Open Text Collections?

Next to gram­mars and dic­tio­nar­ies, text col­lec­tions are one of the three ele­ments of the Boasian tril­o­gy of lan­guage descrip­tion. The plat­form Open Text Col­lec­tions will host a selec­tion of the best text col­lec­tions. Texts will under­go peer review in the region­al boards (cur­rent­ly Africa, South Amer­i­ca, North Amer­i­ca, Eura­sia, Cau­ca­sus, Ocea­nia). Accept­ed text col­lec­tions will be avail­able in HTML, PDF and print-on-demand books. Addi­tion­al­ly, a data dump of the entire­ty of col­lec­tions will be avail­able.

We will pro­duce at least 10 text col­lec­tions dur­ing the fund­ing peri­od, but hope to be able to deliv­er many more.

The project is fund­ed by the Deutsche Forschungs­ge­mein­schaft (DFG, Ger­man Research Foun­da­tion) from 2023–2025 and will there­after be fund­ed by a con­sor­tium of research insti­tu­tions sim­i­lar to Lan­guage Sci­ence Press. The project is based at the Berlin-Bran­den­bur­gis­che Akademie der Wis­senschaften (BBAW, Berlin-Bran­den­burg Acad­e­my of Sci­ences and Human­i­ties).

Für die geplanten Samm­lun­gen wird der jew­eilige Bear­beitungssta­tus angezeigt; eine FAQ lis­tet zahlre­iche Aspek­te auf.
Weit­ere Samm­lun­gen kön­nen gerne ein­gere­icht wer­den:

Text col­lec­tions sub­mit­ted to Open Text Col­lec­tions should be a coher­ent set of curat­ed and edit­ed texts. While we do not give strict lim­its, 10 texts would be a good start. We are build­ing con­ver­sion pipelines for ELAN and FLEx data.

If you are con­sid­er­ing pub­lish­ing a text col­lec­tion, please get in touch with otc@langsci-press.org or the region­al edi­tors list­ed on the region­al boards page. If you want to go for­ward, more for­mal pro­pos­al guide­lines can be found below.
