Journal Article
A Balanced Vocabulary Without a Balanced Corpus: The Livonian Case
2024
Overview
This article, using the example of Latvias indigenous Livonian language, explores approaches to enhance the consistency of endangered language documentation and lexicographical resources, with a particular emphasis on creating a balanced vocabulary. For critically endangered languages like Livonian, existing collections may be small and imbalanced, often reflecting outdated and limited sources. This presents significant challenges in accurately capturing the vocabulary essential for everyday communication and language acquisition. The article examines how frequency data from related language, such as Estonian in the case of Livonian, can be utilized to fill gaps and develop a more consistent and representative vocabulary.
