This is Språkbanken Text

Språkbanken Text is a research infrastructure for language data and a language technology research unit. We are part of Språkbanken, a national infrastructure supporting research based on language data.

We develop, refine, and make freely available language data in accordance with the FAIR principles, with a special focus on the Swedish language throughout history.

We develop freely available digital research platforms (Korp, Karp, Mink, Sparv and Strix), where we aim to support all types of research where language data is central.

We conduct our own research in language technology, including language-based AI, and participate in projects in other disciplines. Our collaborations are both national and international and include memory and cultural heritage institutions, schools, and enterprises.

Språkbanken was established as early as 1975, making us one of the world's oldest research and development units in language technology.
