Abstract

BABEL is a joint European project under the COPERNICUS scheme (Project 1304), comprising partners from five Eastern European countries and three Western ones. The project is producing a multi-language database of five of the most widely-differing Eastern European languages (Bulgarian, Estonian, Hungarian, Romanian and Polish). The collection and formatting of the data conforms to the protocols established by the ESPRIT SAM project and the resulting EUROM databases
