Multext-East Multilingual Text Tools and Corpora for Central and Eastern European Languages Project COPERNICUS 106

MULTEXT-EAST is a European project funded under the COPERNICUS programme, which is intended to extend the scope of the LRE project MULTEXT by transferring MULTEXT's expertise, methodologies, and tools to Central and Eastern European countries, thus enabling the extension and validation of these methodologies and tools on a new range of languages. The goals of the project are:

• testing and adaptation of language standards
• development of an annotated multilingual corpus
• development of morpho-lexical resources
• adaptation of the MULTEXT corpus tools.

Together, MULTEXT and MULTEXT-EAST create a unique network of more than twenty academic research centers and companies, all developing and using common lingware and methodologies for thirteen European languages.
