# BasqueParl: A Bilingual Corpus of Basque Parliamentary Transcriptions |
|
|
|
This repository contains **BasqueParl**, a bilingual corpus for political discourse analysis. It covers transcriptions from the Parliament of the Basque Autonomous Community for eight years and two legislative terms (2012-2020), and its main characteristic is the presence of Basque-Spanish code-switching speeches. |
|
|
|
For instance, the following unprocessed speech combines a **Basque** text (plain) with **Spanish** fragments (highlighted): |
|
|
|
> Bai, zure baimenarekin hemendik. |
|
> |
|
> Ba zure desioak, Guanche andrea, gureak ere badira. Harritu nau eta ez nau harritu hitza berriro hartzeak, zeren hitz egiten nengoen bitartean esan diozu albokoari `le voy a contestar. Le voy a contestar`, ondo iruditzen, zure eskubidean zaude, baino beno, ez dut uste inongo astakeriarik esan dudanik. |
|
> |
|
> Gauzak egiten dira eta uste dut nik, nik ere eskubidea dudala Gobernuak eta beste erakundeek egiten dutena esateko. Zeren beti `ver el vaso medio vacío o medio lleno, pues cambia un poco la perspectiva y vernos siempre en modo Gobierno, creo que no es nada objetivo. Se hacen cosas, se harán cosas y esta vez creo que me deberían reconocer que de la iniciativa primera a lo que hemos acordado, no nos hemos dejado nada o creo que casi nada. Entonces, bueno, sólo querı́a aclarar eso` eta eskerrak berriro. |
|
> |
|
> Eta ziur egon emakumea dokumentu horietan ez bada agertzen hitzetan, zeren uste dut hori ez dela garrantzitsuena, bai politiketan egongo dela eta dagoela. |
|
> |
|
> Eskerrik asko. |
