	abstract     = {These data consist of newly OCRed and annotated narratives, both autobiographical texts written by, and interviews with, formerly enslaved persons of African descent in the United States of America and the Caribbean, including extensive time-related and geographical metadata. The texts authored by these individuals span from the years 1795 to approximately 1900, while the interviews were conducted in the 1930s. The former are written in standardised English from that time, whereas the latter often are written down in mediated, vernacular form, causing issues in lemmatisation and part-of-speech tagging. The aim is to create openly accessible corpora that can be utilised for the purpose of researching how these formerly enslaved persons described their own lives.},

Selection of narratives collected in the Federal Writers' Projct (FWP) collected in late 1930's and published in 1941.
Selection of narratives collected as part of the Documenting the American South Collection (DocSouth)
The Corpus has been developed in collaboration with Språkbanken Text.},

	abstract     = {Införandet av det svenska könsneutrala pronomenet ’hen’ utgör en betydande språklig förändring inom de indoeuropeiska språken. Detta pronomen skapades som ett alternativ till de könsspecifika pronomina ’hon’ och ’han’ för de fall där personens kön är okänt eller irrelevant. Även om dess användning har ökat, och det till och med ingår i svenska versioner av EU-dokument, är frågan om hur hen ska översättas till språk utan motsvarande neutralt pronomen fortfarande inte tillräckligt undersökt. Syftet med detta kapitel är att analysera befintliga översättningslösningar av pronominet ’hen’ i parallellkorpusen InterCorp v16, särskilt i tjeckiska.},
