  2. Agenda • A brief historical background how the idea of corpus development came up • A general introduction to the Corpus of Early Written Latvian Texts • The place of Glück’s Bible data in our corpus • Some remarks on the corpus exploration

  3. A brief historical background of the idea of corpus development 1930s Jānis Endzelīns: Thesaurus linguae letticae where all the Latvian words should be collected both from spoken language and written texts (Endzelīns 1933: 818) K. Mühlenbachs Lettisch –deutsches Wörterbuch (1923-32; revised and supplemented by J. Endzelīns and E. Hauzenberga 1934-1946) V.Rūķe –Draviņa: encouraged to aware a complete material of the Latvian language and proposed to develop A dictionary of the early written texts (Rūķe 1961) 1990s the idea to start work on The historical dictionary of the Latvian language(Baldunčiks 1994)

  4. Collecting early printed texts End of 1980s Maija Baltiņa started her work on the analysis of the Book of Job. 1992-1994 the Glück's Bible has been input at the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence 1995-96 - database of early written Latvian texts has been initiated and several early printed Latvian sources (from the 17th century) have been prepared in an electronic form (Luther`s ENCHIRIDION (1615); Langewünschte Lettische Postill by G. Mancelius in 3 parts (1654); Lettische geistliche Lieder und Kollekten.. (1685); Lettische geistliche Lieder und Psalmen.. (1685); Extract from "Krigz-Artiklar.." (published in Stockholm, 1683) (1694)) "FrakturaSpecial" fonts (Latvian software company Tilde, 1996) 1997 a research on Glück's translation has been carried out under the supervision of Maija Baltiņa

  5. Call for dictionary again 2001 prof. Trevor Fennell invited and encouraged scholars of Latvia to start work on the Dictionary of Old Latvian. Pilot project on The development of electronic dictionary of the 17th century (2002, funded by Latvian Culture Foundation). Joint project of the Department of Baltic languages, Faculty of Philology, UL and the IMCS, UL, project was lead by prof. P.Vanags. A test bed and contributed towards building up the first Latvian corpus available publicly.

  21. SENIE The aim of the corpus Is to promote and facilitate the diachronic study of Latvian as well as to offer a new data to those interested in the development and varieties of the language. It will serve as basis for the dictionary of the 16th - 18th century. Our tasks in future 1) To continue a work on corpus building. 2) To add more possibilities for corpus exploitation (detailed statistical analysis, sorting possibilities in search results, collocation analysis).
