        Subject: GUM 13 Corpus Survey

The GUM Corpus - Public Survey 
Georgetown University Multilayer Corpus 


The Corpling Lab at Georgetown University
<https://gucorpling.org/corpling/> 
would like your participation in this survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDyzbvHHvQKTcwC9Ym9bp-_DlEV8XvBX-6_Bxu5mr7CeHWBA/viewform?usp=header>
to help us better understand GUM usage and preferences regarding current and
potential new genres in the GUM corpus, which would be of great help for
our future selection of genres and availability of formats and annotation
layers.

Survey Link: https://forms.gle/SQkfN8MTHNXo32Z3A

GUM is an open source corpus of richly annotated English texts from
multiple genres: academic, bio, fiction, interview, news, travel, how-to,
Reddit forum discussions, conversations, political speeches, CC vlogs,
textbooks, podcasts, letters, L1 essays, and oral court arguments. The
corpus is created by students as part of the Computational Linguistics
curriculum at Georgetown University and is available under Creative Commons
licenses. As of now, the GUM Corpus has released 12 series containing over
291K tokens annotated for multiple layers. For more information and to
search or download the corpus online, see: https://gucorpling.org/gum/

We value your opinions and appreciate your participation and help! For full
consideration, please respond to the survey by the end of July.

Our lab will be attending the ACL 2026 main conference, CODI-CRAC, and LAW
XX in San Diego, so please feel free to come talk to us if you are in
attendance as well!


Best,
Lauren Levine
