Abstract

In this paper we present a multimedia corpus of Pear film retellings by people with aphasia (PWA), right hemisphere damage (RHD), and healthy speakers of Russian. Discourse abilities of brain-damaged individuals are still under discussion, and Russian CliPS (Clinical Pear Stories) corpus was created for the thorough analysis of micro- and macro-linguistic levels of narratives by PWA and RHD. The current version of Russian ?liPS contains 39 narratives by people with various forms of aphasia due to left hemisphere damage, 5 narratives by people with right hemisphere damage and no aphasia, and 22 narratives by neurologically healthy adults. The annotation scheme of Russian CliPS 1.0 includes the following tiers: quasiphonetic, lexical, lemma, part of speech tags, grammatical properties, errors, laughter, segmentation into clauses and utterances. Also analysis of such measures as informativeness, local and global coherence, anaphora, and macrostructure is planned as a next stage of the corpus development.
