Bosnisch/Kroatisch/Serbisches Korpus: Comic Korpus

The Comic Corpus consists of several serbian Asteriks comic strips. Some of the serbian comics are originally written in cyrillics; the texts were transcribed in latin script in order to have all comic texts in the same encoding. The comic texts are predestined for any type of research with regard to imitated spoken-language-phenomenons.  The research interest of our project lies in the use of the Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian v/t/n-deictics in combination with a pointing gesture in a typical demonstratio ad oculos situation including all extralinguistic information given by the communication situation. For that purpose the panels that include deictics and pointing gestures were digitised and added to the corpus.
