EliNor aims to develop three cutting-edge digital resources to advance innovative linguistic research on understudied Norwegian language patterns (constructions), support the development of Large Language Models, and foster international collaboration.
- First, we create a professional interface for the Norwegian Blog Corpus, a large collection of authentic, up-to-date texts that addresses the lack of openly available data representing informal Norwegian.
- Second, we develop the Norwegian Constructicon (Språknett), the first searchable database of 2,000 thoroughly described and illustrated language patterns unique to Norwegian.
- Third, leveraging these resources, we build the first Learner Chatbot for Norwegian (SnakKIs), an AI-driven tool designed to help learners master these patterns in practical contexts.
Each resource has currently been developed to a level below Technology Readiness Level 6, and EliNor aims to advance them to levels 6-7 in 2026. Together, these innovative open-access resources advance Norwegian language research, enhance language technology, and promote student-centered, accessible language learning.
