Corpus Construction

Building a multimodal dialect corpus for analysis.

A sign in a modern building displays text in both English and Chinese. It provides directions to the Acquisition & Cataloguing Department, Compact Stacks, and Archives. The setting appears to be a university or a similar institutional environment with a sleek, minimalistic design.
