Språkbanken (The Language Bank)
Språkbanken (The Language Bank) is a national e-science research infrastructure that provides access to both digital language data and advanced tools for working with language data. For example, research conducted using the infrastructure involves language technology, language science, digital humanities and social sciences, social robotics and artificial intelligence.
Språkbanken (The Language Bank) is part of the National Language Bank and serves as the Swedish node of the European Research Infrastructure for Language Resources and Technology (CLARIN ERIC). Its mission is to provide language technology tools and materials, such as text collections, corpora, dictionaries and audio recordings. Resources are developed for both Swedish and the official minority languages.
The University of Gothenburg hosts Språkbanken (The Language Bank). Other participating higher education institutions and organisations include Uppsala University, Royal Institute of Technology, Linköping University, Lund University, Stockholm University, Umeå University, the National Archives, the Institute of Language and Folklore and the Royal Library.
The Council for Research Infrastructures (RFI) funds this research infrastructure, which the Swedish Research Council considers to be in the national interest.
