N2 - RSCAL is a project to build an open-access TEI-encoded collection of the Irish-language novel for inclusion in the European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC), the state-of-the-art multilingual corpus of the European novel (1840-1920). ELTeC provides a collection of novel corpora that are comparable in nature, scope, and quality across several European languages: an essential condition for the creation of multilingual tools and methods of computational literary analysis. At the beginning of the project, in 2022, twenty European languages were represented in ELTeC, but Irish was not.
By creating an ELTeC-conformant, open-access corpus of the Irish-language novel to 1920, RSCAL will resolve this gap, ensuring future users of ELTeC can consider the Irish-language novel in comparative analyses of the European novel, and clearing a path for dedicated computational analysis of the early tradition of the novel in Irish.
In addition to publishing the new collection of the Irish-language novel in ELTeC, this site offers users free access to the entire collection and individual novels in a range of formats (XML, EPUB, HTML).
The RSCAL project team is Dr Justin Tonra (Principal Investigator) and Dr Pdraig Fhia Mathna (Research Assistant). The project was funded by the Strategic Research Development Scheme (2022) of the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies at University of Galway.
