State Research Programme’s “Latvian language” sub-project
“Livonian Language”
No. VPP-IZM-2018/2-0002
(2019–2021)
The goal of the sub-project is to create a collection of modern Livonian language research and learning tools – Livonian lexical and morphological databases and a corpus of contemporary Livonian – the target audience of which consists of Finnic and Baltic language researchers, students, researchers from other fields studying aspects of Livonian heritage as well as the Livonian community and society at large. The sub-project seeks to bring together the main modern Livonian language sources into a unified electronic format through the use of electronic tools, ensuring their indexation, the collection and analysis of word forms, the expansion of lexical data, etc.
The other main goal of the sub-project is to prepare a Livonian language handbook based on the database and corpus data, the goal of which will be to ensure the availability of concentrated and comprehensive information on the fundamentals of Livonian grammar. The handbook will be available for research as well as the preparation of Livonian language learning materials.
