Uyghur Light Verbs Project

Salam!

This is the Web home of the Uyghur Light Verbs Project, a project at the University of Kansas directed by Prof. Arienne M. Dwyer; the technical lead is Dr. C.M. Sperberg-McQueen.

The current project is coming to a close; we will be adding and updating materials in the next six months. A related follow-on project has been funded; more on that soon. In the meantime, we have made several kinds of information available:

a demonstration corpus of Uyghur (and Uzbek) texts
linguistic information about Uyghur, a Turkic language spoken by about 9 million people primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of western China (ISO 639 code: uig)
... and for those interested in peeking under the hood, some technical information about our XML formats, query system, and work flow
