Vetenskapsrådet

At Språkbanken Text, we have an ongoing research theme that relates to computational modeling of word meaning called (computational) lexical semantic change. In this theme, we have both research projects and a larger research program.

HUMINFRA  är en ny distribuerad, nationell infrastruktur för forskning inom humaniora, konst och samhällsvetenskap.

The aim of this project is to build a versatile lexical infrastructure for Swedish language technology (LT).

Accessibility of research data is critical for advances in many research fields, but textual data often cannot be shared due to the presence of personal and sensitive information, e.g names, political opinions. GDPR suggests pseudonymization as a solution, but we need to learn more about it before adopting it for manipulation of research data.

The project studies the rise of complex verb constructions in Germanic.

The goal of this project is to create a database of comparable lexical items in a number of representative languages spoken in the Himalayan region in India and to use this database for investigating the Himalayas as a linguistic area.

The goal of the SweFN++ project is to build an open-content -- i.e., freely available and modifiable -- integrated lexical resource for Swedish -- so far lacking -- to be used as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology (LT) research and in the development of LT applications for Swedish.
