Works in the collection

Iijoki series

The Päätalo collection of the University of Oulu includes works by the author Kalle Päätalo (November 11, 1919 – November 20, 2000). The Iijoki series, composed of 26 works, is Päätalo’s autobiographical main work, depicting his life from the 1910s to the 1990s.

At the initiative of University Lecturer Maija Saviniemi of the University of Oulu, Kalle Päätalo’s relatives Riitta Päätalo, Aliisa Oksanen and Emmi Oksanen as well as Gummerus Kustannus have made it possible to publish the material in the Language Bank. The material is available through the Language Bank of Finland for research purposes.

In the FIN-CLARIN project, the first Korp version of the Iijoki dataset was structured by Erik Axelson with the Turku Neural Parser Pipeline (TNPP) parser of the Turku NLP group. The data has also been structured in Kielipankki with the TDPP parser, which is based on the TDT parser developed by the Turku BioNLP group and further developed in Kielipankki. Based on the TDPP parsing, a list of elements was created that the parser could not reliably determine in their basic form. Instead, the annotation is marked as OTHER_UNK. A large number of these words are dialect words in different forms, so it is useful to look for them in the data using their basic forms.

A wide range of searches and statistics on the material can be made in the Korp service of the Language Bank of Finland. The Korp Extended Search tab can be used to narrow searches, for example, by selecting the title or date of a work as a search criterion and entering the title or year of publication in the selection field.
