Sources
Korpus med bokomtalar frå Bokelskere.no (Public domain)
Stortingskorpuset 1.1 (Public domain)
Individual sentences submitted by users through the Mozilla Common Voice interface (Public domain)
Text domains
The corpus was initially seeded with sentences from
Book reviews and book discussions (from the web community bokelskere.no)
Transcribed and manually checked discussions from the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget), from 2017 to 2018
Later, several individual users have contributed sentences in various domains through Mozilla's web interface.
Processing
Both sources include sentences in both Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.
Norwegian Nynorsk candidate sentences were extracted by both excluding Bokmål-only words and including Nynorsk-only words:
| Only | Words |
|---|---|
| Bokmål | ikke, jeg, en, et, fra, hun, noen, være, mer, ble, mye, bare, boken, kommer, flere, dem |
| Nynorsk | eg, ikkje, ein, me, vere, meir, fleire, berre, ho, eit, blei, vart |
These candidate sentences were then checked by two writers of Nynorsk to ensure that they were indeed written in Nynorsk before inclusion into the corpus.
