Resource information

The University of Helsinki Language Corpus Server (UHLCS) is a multilingual data bank founded in the late 1980s and maintained by the Department of General Linguistics at the University of Helsinki until September 2007. When the old server was taken out of use, the UHLCS corpora were moved to servers maintained by CSC – IT Center for Science, and the corpora were made available via the Language Bank of Finland.

At present, the UHLCS collection includes text corpora of more than 50 languages, including samples of minority languages and extensive corpora representing different text types. There are also tools specifically developed for analyzing the UHLCS corpora.

The use of most corpora is restricted for research and teaching. Resource-specific information and license conditions can be found in the metadata record of the corpus in question.

In 2000, the corpora from the Uralic, Turkic, Tungusic, Mongolic, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Iranian and North-East Caucasian languages were edited for public use with the financial support of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig. In summer 2003, the basis for the metadata descriptions of the corpora were prepared with the financial support of the ECHO project (ECHO = European Cultural Inheritance Online).
