The TüTeAM Corpus

The TüTeAM corpus contains about 2800 entries from Ancient Greek, German, English, Italian, Hungarian, Latin, Swedish, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian. The data come from various sources: linguistic literature (the "classics" on tense and aspect), fiction, documentary evidence. Examples appear in the original script, if necessary with transliteration, English or German gloss and translation. The examples also contain an indication of the source or a complete  denotation of the bibliographic source. Sentences are analysed according to various criteria: tense and aspect morphology, types of time adverbials, Aktionsarten. The analysis allows a specific search for similar phenomena in a variety of languages and makes the discovery of typological regularities easier.
