CodE Alltag: A German-Language E-Mail Corpus
Ulrike Krieg-Holz, Christian Schuschnig, Franz Matthies, Benjamin Redling, Udo Hahn · 2016
We introduce CODE ALLTAG, a text corpus composed of German-language e-mails.It is divided into two partitions: the first of these portions, CODE ALLTAGXL, consists of a bulk-size collection drawn from an openly accessible e-mail archive (roughly 1.5M e-mails), whereas the second portion, CODE ALLTAG S+d , is much smaller in size (less than thousand e-mails), yet excels with demographic data from each author of an e-mail.CODE ALLTAG, thus, currently constitutes the largest e-mail corpus ever built.In this paper, we describe, for both parts, the solicitation process for gathering e-mails, present descriptive statistical properties of the corpus, and, for CODE ALLTAG S+d , reveal a compilation of demographic features of the donors of e-mails.
