The Hamburg MapTask Corpus (HAMATAC)

Audio and two video recordings of map tasks with adult L2 users of German and one L1 speaker. The speakers' L1 and their L2 proficiencies vary. The maps used for the tasks are available.

The Hamburg MapTask Corpus (HAMATAC) is a spoken language corpus documenting the performance of 24 L2 learners of German in a map task. HAMATAC was recorded and transcribed in project Z2 at the Research Centre on Multilingualism. The current version 0.3 contains a new communication with video recording as well as the resources known from the previous version, e.g. orthographic transcriptions of the recordings, manual annotation of disfluencies and automatic annotation of part-of-speech and lemmas.
