ICE Nigeria

ICE Nigeria is a 1-million-word corpus of spoken and written Nigerian English as it is used in Nigeria at the beginning of the 21st century. The corpus contains the text categories and annotations specified by the ICE project plus a number of additional linguistic annotations such as part-of-speech and phonetic transcriptions. The corpus is available in an XML-format.

ICE Nigeria can be downloaded at Sourceforge.

Corpus annotation is carried out with Pacx - Platform for Annotated Corpora. The corpus creation process is agile, which means query-driven, based on a cyclic processing model and following the minimal effort principle (see Voormann & Gut 2008).
