The corpus makes possible typologically aware corpus-based grammatical research on the Evenki (< Tungusic) language and expands the documentation of the lesser described indigenous languages of Northern Eurasia. The INEL Evenki Corpus covers Northern (Taimyr, Khantayskoe Ozero, Ilimpi, Erbogachon) and Southern (Sym) Evenki dialects, which have or had contacts with other languages dealt with in the INEL project, that is, first and foremost Dolgan and Selkup. The INEL Evenki Corpus is composed of texts from different sources: Published texts from different text collections, inter alia "Sbornik materialov po evenkijskomu (tungusskomu) fol'kloru" (Vasilevich 1936), covering all named dialects. Transcripts of recordings obtained from the Taimyr House of National Arts (TDNT) in Dudinka (2000s) as well as transcripts of recordings made by and from Tat’yana V. Bolina, either of them representing the Khantayskoe Ozero dialect. Texts from the handwritten archive of the Russian ethnographer and linguist Konstantin M. Rychkov recorded in the 1900s/1910s, covering the Taimyr, Ilimpi and Sym dialects. Each text in the corpus is provided with morphological glossing, translation into English, Russian and German, as well as annotation of Russian borrowings. Some texts also have annotations for syntactic functions, semantic roles and information status. Funding The corpus has been produced in the context of the joint research funding of the German Federal Government and Federal States in the Academies’ ...
