Abstract

The paper is the first public presentation of the research programme Basic Corpus of Greek Texts , under the co-operation of the University of Athens and the University of Cyprus, aiming at build ing a new, extensive and representative corpus of Greek. In particular, the Corpus of Greek Texts (CGT) is envisaged as collecting a substantial amount of data (30 million words) in a short time span (1-2 years) as a basis for linguistic research and a resource for teaching applications. The scope and representativeness of the genres included, as well as free accessibility to it, will make CGT one of the most necessary tools for the study of Greek. The paper presents the research area, the aims and needs of the programme, the identity and structure of the CGT, as well as the methodological issues and linguistic implications and applications related with the compilation of the corpus.
