texts totalling some two million word uses. The texts span all major styles of<br />
modern Buryat, including fiction, academic writing, and news.<br />
In keeping with the standards of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) 78 , all the<br />
corpora should go through corpus-header markup.<br />
A newly-launched pilot version of the site http://corpora.imbtarchive.ru/<br />
index.php features selected materials, such as concordances 79 to Buryat<br />
fiction. These have been built using original software developed by the project<br />
team. Contexts bring out the meanings of designated word forms, facilitating<br />
their subsequent breakdown across grammar categories for analysis. The corpus<br />
is to be regularly supplemented, updated and, if necessary, corrected/modified.<br />
The project’s preliminary results have been reported in scholarly paper<br />
collections, symposia proceedings, and on the Internet.<br />
Representing a language on the Web and making related resources accessible<br />
to the research community should be a key priority with modern-day linguists.<br />
One of the main aims behind the Buryat corpus project is to integrate the language<br />
into the global information environment. This aim is outlined in the Russian<br />
Academy of Sciences Presidium’s Corpus Linguistics programme of fundamental<br />
research (Direction 3. Creation and development of corpora resources on<br />
Russia’s languages; http://www.corpling-ran.ru/n3.html). Being implemented<br />
as part of this programme and with its support, the project is aimed at modelling<br />
a morphological description of the Buryat language, which would pave the way<br />
for the development of a morphology parser.<br />
The Institute of Mongol, Buddhist and Tibetan Studies is also involved with<br />
experimental developments in Buryat phonetics. Its current projects are aimed<br />
at building a database from information collected ever since the Linguistics<br />
Department’s Experimental Phonetics Research Laboratory was set up. These<br />
developments could subsequently be incorporated into the Buryat corpus as an<br />
oral speech subcorpus.<br />
Speech databases as a major type of linguistic resources are, per se, of much<br />
research interest. Such bases are essential to scholarly tasks related to the<br />
analysis and description of oral speech. Building large, wide-ranging and<br />
informative (multitier) speech databases, along with an easy-to-use and<br />
reliable set of tools for their development and employment is an increasingly<br />
important task, of relevance for computer applications and for fundamental<br />
phonetic research alike.<br />

The TEI’s aim is to develop standardized methods for marking textual resources. [Editor’s note.]<br />

Concordance is a list of examples of the use of a particular word in context, as sourced from a textual<br />
corpus, complete with links to the source. [Ed.]<br />
