Automatically Updated Corpora of EU National Parliaments with Terminology Extraction in Twenty Languages

Original language description

We present a collection of monolingual text corpora derived from the steno protocols of 30 parliamentary chambers across 22 EU member states, covering 20 languages. The corpora are continuously and automatically updated, enabling intralingual and cross-lingual analysis of parliamentary discussions. Each chamber’s protocols are regularly downloaded, processed, and transformed into a unified prevertical text format. A terminology extraction grammar is available for each language, allowing the identification of terms specific to each parliament by comparing the parliamentary debates with a general-language reference corpus (or a custom subsection of the debates to the whole body of them). The corpora include timestamps, enabling the observation of trending topics across all European national parliaments within a single platform. Corpus quality depends on the availability and format of the source data, which ranges from simple text files, DOCX, HTML, to XML and JSON (With documented APIs). A monitoring system ensures ongoing compatibility with any format changes. Currently, the corpora consist of over 2.8 billion words and are managed in Sketch Engine.
