- This submission is the main output from a major ASRC/ESRC funded project (ES/M011348/1).
It constitutes a data set of 14,338,149 tokens (circa 11.2-million-words), collected according to a principled sampling frame and submitted to processes of anonymisation, transcription, semantic tagging (using bespoke tool SemCyTag) and Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging (using bespoke tool CyTag). In addition to the corpus (the first of its kind for Welsh Language), the output includes supporting documentation and information, including a project report of approx 19,000 words.

The corpus and associated documentation is accessed through the CorCenCC webpages (https://www.corcencc.org/ and https://www.corcencc.cymru/) and technical tools are at https://github.com/CorCenCC. These websites are external to Swansea University. CorCenCC can be explored via the website, and the data behind CorCenCC can be requested via a webpage link.
The three co-founders and co-creators of CorCenCC (Fitzpatrick, Knight and Morris) were jointly responsible for decisions around, and strategic management and co-ordination of, all work-packages and the project team of around 40 individuals. In addition to the operational management of the project, Fitzpatrick’s specific role focused on effective communications, creative trouble-shooting, and dynamic and agile decision-making. Besides her key role in the creation and strategic leadership of the project, Fitzpatrick took a leading role on pedagogical and lexical aspects of the research portfolio. She was also a key author of the central project documentation including the main project report, which documents the research process, provides a detailed overview of CorCenCC tools and outputs, and relates the applications of these to a range of user groups.
