European Corpus Initiative Multilingual Corpus I

The European Corpus Initiative (ECI) was founded to oversee the acquisition and preparation of a large multilingual corpus (ECI/MCI) to be made available in digital form for scientific research at a low cost. The corpus has been available on CD-ROM since 1994, and is being distributed by ELSNET (as well as by ELDA and LDC).

欧洲语料库倡议（European Corpus Initiative，ECI）成立的初衷是统筹大型多语言语料库（ECI/MCI）的采集与筹备工作，使其以数字化形式、低成本面向科学研究开放共享。该语料库自1994年起便以CD-ROM形式发布，目前由ELSNET负责分发，ELDA与语言数据联盟（Linguistic Data Consortium，LDC）亦参与其发行工作。
