FID Linguistik grants licences for commercial linguistic corpora

In a pilot project, FID Linguistik grants individual licences for linguistic corpora. The available corpora are selected from the catalogue of the European Language Resource Association (ELRA).

The new service is intended exclusively for researchers affiliated to an academic institution in Germany. With the financial support of the German Research Foundation, FID Linguistik established a special fund for licence fees. For the researchers the service is free of charge.

For a request of a corpus licence please use the web form provided by the FID. You can find the form, the list of the available corpora as well as detailed information about the participation criteria and the procedure in the module Licences for corpora.
