<strong>Corpus Description</strong>

The INEL Kamas corpus has been created within the long-term INEL project ("Grammatical Descriptions, Corpora and Language Technology for Indigenous Northern Eurasian Languages"), 2016–2033. The corpus makes possible typologically aware corpus-based grammatical research on the Kamas language and expands the documentation of the lesser described indigenous languages of Northern Eurasia.

The INEL Kamas corpus consists of two parts: folklore texts collected by Kai Donner in 1912–1914, and transcribed audio recordings of the last speaker of Kamas, Klavdiya Plotnikova, made between 1964 and 1970.

Each text in the corpus is provided with morphological glossing, translation into English, Russian and German, as well as annotation of syntactic functions, semantic roles, Russian borrowings and code-switching. Some texts also have annotations for information status.

<strong>New in release 2.0</strong>

In texts from Donner’s collection, phonetic transcription according to Klumpp's edition of Donner’s manuscripts has been added (as stl tier)
Five texts which were originally split between different tapes have been merged, as well as respective parts of recordings. Sentences in each resulting text are numbered throughout

PKZ_196X_Alenushka_flk + PKZ_196X_Alenushka_continuation_flk &gt; PKZ_196X_Alenushka_flk
End of PKZ_196X_SU0226 starting from PKZ_196X_SU0226.203 (210) + PKZ_196X_Alenushka2_continuation_flk &gt; PKZ_196X_Alenushka2_flk
PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_flk + PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_cont_flk &gt; PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_flk
PKZ_196X_Finist_flk + PKZ_196X_Finist_continuation_flk &gt; PKZ_196X_Finist_flk
PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_flk + PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_continuation_flk &gt; PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_flk

Part of the texts are now annotated for existential, locative and possessive predication (ExLocPoss tier, by C.L. Däbritz)
Numerous corrections in glosses, other annotations and transcriptions, including:

Fuller and more consistent transcription, glossing and annotations of borrowings
Vowel length is marked in mp tier in <em>baːzoʔ</em> ‘again’, <em>büːzʼe</em> ‘man’ and <em>saːgər</em> ‘black’
Corrections in disambiguation of polysemous or homonymous morphemes: <br>
-ziʔ "INS"/"COM", -də "LAT"/"3SG", mo- "can/become/want | мочь/стать/хотеть"
Possessive suffix unmarked for case: "NOM/GEN/ACC" &gt; "POSS"
Glosses for personal pronouns were changed to uniform labels: "I | я" &gt; "PRO1SG", "we | мы" &gt; "PRO1PL", "you | ты" &gt; "PRO2SG", "you.PL | вы" &gt; "PRO2PL"
Fuller annotations of code-switching and calques (CS tier)

Added ELAN *.eaf as a supplementary end-user file format for all transcripts

<strong>Funding</strong>

The corpus has been produced in the context of the joint research funding of the German Federal Government and Federal States in the Academies’ Programme, with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The Academies’ Programme is coordinated by the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities.

**语料库说明**

INEL卡马斯语语料库依托2016—2033年的长期INEL项目“北欧欧亚原住民语言的语法描述、语料库与语言技术”（Grammatical Descriptions, Corpora and Language Technology for Indigenous Northern Eurasian Languages）建成。该语料库可为卡马斯语（Kamas language）的类型学导向语料库语法研究提供支撑，并拓展对研究较少的北欧欧亚原住民语言的文献记录。

INEL卡马斯语语料库包含两部分内容：一是凯·唐纳（Kai Donner）于1912—1914年收集的民间文学文本，二是1964—1970年间录制的卡马斯语最后一位使用者克劳迪娅·普洛特尼科娃（Klavdiya Plotnikova）的转写音频录音。

语料库中的每篇文本均附带形态标注（morphological glossing）、英语、俄语及德语译稿，同时标注句法功能（syntactic functions）、语义角色（semantic roles）、俄语借词（borrowings）及语码转换（code-switching）信息。部分文本还附带信息状态标注。

**2.0版本更新内容**

1. 在唐纳收藏的文本中，新增基于克伦普（Klumpp）对唐纳手稿版本的语音转写，以stl层级（stl tier）形式呈现。
2. 原本分散在不同磁带中的5篇文本及其对应的录音片段已完成合并，合并后的文本内的句子均进行全局编号：
- PKZ_196X_Alenushka_flk + PKZ_196X_Alenushka_continuation_flk > PKZ_196X_Alenushka_flk
- 以PKZ_196X_SU0226.203（210）为起始点的PKZ_196X_SU0226末尾内容 + PKZ_196X_Alenushka2_continuation_flk > PKZ_196X_Alenushka2_flk
- PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_flk + PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_cont_flk > PKZ_196X_BlacksmithAndMerchant_flk

- PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_flk + PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_continuation_flk > PKZ_196X_StupidWolf_flk
3. 部分文本新增存在、处所及所属谓词性结构的标注，以ExLocPoss层级（ExLocPoss tier）形式呈现，由C.L. 德布里茨（C.L. Däbritz）完成。
4. 对标注、转写及借词相关内容进行了大量修正，包括：
- 更全面且一致的转写、形态标注及借词注释
- 在mp层级（mp tier）中标注元音长度，例如<em>baːzoʔ</em>意为“再一次”、<em>büːzʼe</em>意为“男人”、<em>saːgər</em>意为“黑色”
- 修正多义或同形语素的消歧标注：
- `-ziʔ` 标注为“INS（向内格）/COM（共格）”，`-də` 标注为“LAT（向格）/3SG（第三人称单数）”，`mo-` 标注为“能够/变得/想要 | мочь/стать/хотеть”
- 所属后缀不再区分格标记，将“NOM（主格）/GEN（属格）/ACC（宾格）”统一改为“POSS（所属格）”
- 人称代词的标注统一为标准化标签：“我 | я”改为“PRO1SG（第一人称单数代词）”，“我们 | мы”改为“PRO1PL（第一人称复数代词）”，“你 | ты”改为“PRO2SG（第二人称单数代词）”，“你们（复数） | вы”改为“PRO2PL（第二人称复数代词）”
- 新增对语码转换及仿译词（calques）的完整注释，以CS层级（CS tier）形式呈现
5. 为所有转写文件新增ELAN格式的*.eaf作为补充的终端用户文件格式。
