The English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC)
The English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus (ENPC) is a computer corpus for contrastive analysis and translation studies. It consists of original texts and their translations (English to Norwegian and Norwegian to English) and includes both fiction and non-fiction. The samples are limited to text extracts of 10,000–15,000 words. The fiction part of the corpus contains 30 original text extracts in each direction, whereas the non-fiction part contains 20 in each direction, amounting to 2.6 million running words in total. The texts are aligned at the sentence level and are encoded in accordance with the TEI conventions (see the ENPC manual for details).
