It will contain a wide variety of texts of different genres and on different topics. The corpus is going to be an integral part of a distributed corpus developed in cooperation with Austrian, German and South Tyrolian partner projects, on the one hand. On the other hand, it will serve specifically Swiss research interests in lexicography and other linguistic fields."
