Jeeagh er bun Category:Text corpora

A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_corpus '''text corpus'''] is a large collection of (often as diverse as possible) texts in a given language. Text corpora are very useful for checking how often a given expression is used in a language (and which are rare or never occur), thus they might be a huge help to learners who want to check whether a certain construction is natural-sounding or not. They are also extremely useful when doing research about language grammar and how it changes over time. Many corpora contain also additional information about individual words (like their part-of-speech and other inflectional information when applicable, like grammatical case, gender, tense, mood…).

Below is a list of useful publicly-available corpora for Celtic languages.

:* allows filtering by time period, geographical origin, particular text
:* allows complex queries using the CQP-syntax (but limited due to the lack of POS-tagging)
:* See [[Gaelic/Using Corpas na Gàidhlig]] for some additional tips

=== Classical Gaelic ===
* [https://app.sketchengine.eu/#dashboard?corpname=preloaded%2Ffiliochttcdv1 ''Irish Syllabic Poetry'' corpus]
:* corpus of Classical Gaelic bardic poetry
:* part-of-speech tagged (although very imperfect since based on tagging method for modern Irish)
:* uses non-normalized spelling (so finding a form might be difficult sometimes)
:* based on [https://bardic.celt.dias.ie/ Bardic Poetry Database]
:* uses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_Engine Sketch Engine]
* [http://corpas.ria.ie ''Historical Irish Corpus''] (corpus RIA) – mainly a Modern Irish corpus, but also useful for Early Modern texts and sometimes bardic poetry since it contains texts from 1600 and later, see under [[#Irish|Irish]]

:* 78 Old Irish texts: OIr. glosses, Annals of Ulster, poems of Blathmac, and some tales

:* the corpus text is in the ''Sentences'' table, the ''Lemmata'' table is basically a glossary of all the words in the corpus, with translation and often etymological info, the ''Morphology'' table contains the whole corpus text broken down into morphological units with POS-tags and comments
:* it offers expected normalized spellings of corpus forms
:* the data can be exported to CSV files
