Abstract
The Georgian Dialect Corpus – GDC (http://mygeorgia.ge/gdc) serves as a source to document and study the regional varieties of the Georgian language. The first steps in terms of the Georgian dialect data collection were taken by Prof. Iost Gippert within his research projects [TITUS, ARMAZI].
The Corpus design strategy on one hand is based on an international corpus linguistics practice and on the other hand on the traditions of the Georgian dialectology and dialectography. The Georgian linguistic and cultural characteristics are being considered in the Corpus design.
The dialect dictionaries are incorporated in the corpus for two reasons: (a) to achieve a high level of representativeness and (b) to use the POS markers of the dictionary lemmas for the morphological annotation of the Corpus. The present paper deals with the practical tasks how these dictionaries complement the dialect lexical fund and how the part of speech markers of the dictionaries are applied in the process of morphological annotation.
