Description:
The Stra-ParlaBO corpus is part of the larger KIParla collection, which can be freely queried through the NoSketch Engine interface.
The Stra-ParlaBO corpus was compiled within the framework of the “DiverSIta – Diversity in spoken Italian” project (PI: Caterina Mauri), funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) – Mission 4 Education and research (MUR project code P2022RFR8T, CUP J53D23017320001).
It consists of approximately 68 hours of spoken data (ca. 40 hours of semi-structured interviews and ca. 28 hours of free conversation) collected in Bologna and its province, involving speakers of Italian as a foreign or second language, within the Ukrainian, Moroccan, Chinese, and Bengalese communities. The interactions, recorded in 2025, involved 138 speakers with different origins, ages, education levels, and occupations. The transcriptions have been anonymised. Overall, the module is made up of 84 conversations.
This repository contains:
- metadata for both speakers (occupation, gender, age, origin, L1, educational achievement, age of arrival in Italy, and years spent in Italy) and conversations (collection point, community, year, languages used), in the metadata subfolder
- descriptions of the set of transcription conventions used for this module
- for each conversation you will find: .eaf file in eaf/ folder (time-aligned Jefferson-style transcriptions); .txt file in linear-jefferson/ folder (linearized Jefferson-style transcription); .txt file in linear-orthographic/ folder (linearized transcription retaining only orthographic words); .tsv file in tsv/ folder (tokenised version of the transcription).
More information can be found in the README.md file.

Description:
The ParlaBZ corpus is part of the larger KIParla collection, which can be freely queried through the NoSketch Engine interface. It consists of approximately 5 hours of spoken data (linguistic biographies and free conversation) collected in Bolzano - Bozen and its province. The interactions, recorded between 2020 and 2022, involved 15 speakers with different origins, ages, education levels, and occupations. The transcriptions have been produced with particular attention to conversational features and have been subsequently anonymised. Overall, the module is made up of 10 conversations. This repository contains: - metadata for both speakers (occupation, gender, age, origin, educational achievement) and conversations (collection point, year), in the metadata subfolder - descriptions of the set of transcription conventions used for this module - for each conversation you will find: .eaf file in eaf/ folder (time-aligned Jefferson-style transcriptions) .txt file in linear-jefferson/ folder (linearized Jefferson-style transcription) .txt file in linear-orthographic/ folder (linearized transcription retaining only orthographic words) .tsv file in tsv/ folder (tokenised version of the transcription).

COME CITARE: Cereser E., Mastrantonio, D. (a cura di), ALEF. Archivio per lo studio della Lingua degli Elaborati studenteschi - Ca’ Foscari, progetto digitale di F. Boschetti, Venezia, Università Ca’ Foscari, 2026.
ALEF è un archivio dell’Università Ca’ Foscari che raccoglie elaborati studenteschi provenienti dalle scuole superiori. La raccolta e lo studio delle produzioni studentesche si inseriscono nell’ambito del Ce.Do.Di (Centro di documentazione e ricerca sulla scuola e la didattica del Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari). Per la creazione di una rete di contatti con le scuole è stata importante la mediazione della sezione scuola di ASLI (Associazione per la Storia della Lingua Italiana), già coordinata da Rita Fresu. I testi sono stati acquisiti da Ca’ Foscari grazie a convenzioni siglate tra il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici e i vari istituti scolastici italiani. Per ragioni di privacy, non sono qui menzionati i nomi delle tante e dei tanti docenti che hanno reso possibile la raccolta degli elaborati.
Nella forma attuale (marzo 2026) ALEF contiene 227 testi scritti da studentesse e studenti di scuole secondarie di secondo grado di varie regioni d’Italia. Il nucleo di testi attualmente pubblicato (dal testo 270 al testo 496) è legato alla tesi di dottorato di Eugenio Cereser, Analisi e classificazione degli errori lessicali per un archivio digitale di testi studenteschi contemporanei, 38° ciclo, finanziata con fondi PNRR, Dottorato di Italianistica dell’Università Ca’ Foscari, di cui sono stati supervisori Davide Mastrantonio, Federico Boschetti e Michele Colombo (discussione della tesi prevista nell’aprile 2026). Altri nuclei di testi, non ancora pubblicati, erano stati precedentemente raccolti per le tesi di laurea magistrale di Chiara Marino (Strategie argomentative degli studenti delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado, Università Ca’ Foscari, a.a. 2022/2023, relatore D. Mastrantonio) e di Giulia Corrocher (Connettivi e relazioni logiche negli elaborati degli studenti delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado, Università Ca’ Foscari, a.a. 2022/2023, relatore D. Mastrantonio), le quali hanno entrambe collaborato alla trascrizione dei testi.
Ogni testo presente in ALEF è identificato dalle seguenti informazioni: anno scolastico, anno d’istruzione, tipologia di istituto, regione, tipologia di prova secondo la riforma Fedeli, traccia della prova, numero progressivo del singolo testo. I testi provengono da esercitazioni e compiti in classe e le tracce delle prove dipendono dalle singole classi. Ogni testo è stato trascritto integralmente per offrire la trascrizione diplomatica degli elaborati.
I criteri adottati sono stati i seguenti: sono stati rispettati gli a capo ; le cancellature leggibili sono state rese con il carattere barrato; per le cancellature non intellegibili si sono usati invece gli asterischi (*); le aggiunte sopra il rigo sono state trascritte in apice; eventuali errori di ortografia vengono segnalati con (sic).

Description:
The UNITE corpus is a learner corpus of English consisting of written interactions between Italian university students and AI-based chatbots. The data were collected in 2024 in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning scenarios in which students interacted with chatbots in small talk and role-play tasks. Data collection took place at three universities in Italy: the University of Bologna, the University of Macerata, and the University of Naples "L'Orientale".
The corpus contains 326 interactions (722,537 tokens) produced by as many learners aged 19–25, with mostly low- to upper-intermediate proficiency levels, enrolled in non-linguistic degree courses. The participants also include learners with disabilities and specific learning disorders, reflecting the project’s focus on inclusive language learning practices.
The UNITE corpus is described using the Core Metadata Schema for Learner Corpora (Paquot et al. 2024) and is distributed as part of this repository in two versions. The first is a minimally annotated text version including metadata at the text, learner, task, and turn levels. The second version features learner-error annotation based on an adapted version of the Louvain Error Tagging scheme (Granger et al. 2022).
The corpus is also accessible through the NoSketch Engine platform hosted at https://corpora.dipintra.it. The version of the corpus available there is further enriched with linguistic annotation (part-of-speech tags and lemmas).

Description:
ItalWordNet (IWN) is a lexical-semantic database developed in the framework of two different research projects: EuroWordNet (EWN) and Sistema Integrato per il Trattamento Automatico del Linguaggio (SI-TAL).
IWN is structured in the same way as the Princeton WordNet, namely around the notion of synset. Following the model designed in EWN, IWN encodes a rich set of semantic relations. In addition to the internal language relations, equivalence relations were also encoded between Italian synsets and the closest concepts in an Inter-Lingual Index (ILI), a separate language-independent module containing all WN1.5 synsets but not the relations among them.
IWN now contains information about Italian Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives and Adverbs.
This SQL version of IWN v2.0 contains a corrected and revised version of the original IWN:
49350 Synsets (of which: 3459 proper nouns, 32073 nominal, 8903 verbal, 4374 adjectival, 541 adverbial)
48416 Lemmas (of which: 3918 proper nouns, 29527 nouns, 8015 verbs, 5808 adjectives, 1090 adverbs)
68478 Senses
