PLURAL

• Program: Langues et Numérique 2018 (DGLFLF: Délégation générale à la langue française et aux langues de France)

• Project acronym: PLURAL

• Project title: Production LUdique de Ressources Annotées pour les Langues de France (Gamified production of annotated resources for Languages of France)

• Duration: October 2017 - June 2018

• Coordinator: Bruno Guillaume

• Other partners: Université Paris-Sorbonne (Karën Fort, Alice Millour, André Thibault) and Université de Strasbourg (Delphine Bernhard).

• Abstract: The objective of the PLURAL project is to build linguistic resources with GWAPs (Game With A Purpose) for poorly endowed languages. Unlike other languages, poorly endowed languages lack freely available raw corpora. The goal of the PLURAL project is to provide a web interface to gather corpora in poorly endowed languages of France. First target languages are Alsacian and Guadeloupean creole. The main difficulty is to take into account orthographic diversity and regional diversity for these languages.

  Nicolas Lefebvre was employed as an engineer in the PLURAL project from October 2017 to March 2018.
