description
  • The Eindhoven Corpus is the first collection of written and transcribed spoken Dutch texts with 720,000 tokens from the period 1960 to 1973. It was initially intended to put together a frequency list for Dutch, and now, it can be used for all kinds of linguistic technology research. The corpus is manually, almost fautlessly annotated. This makes the corpus suitable for use as a training and test data when developing part-of-speech taggers.
