Downloadable version of the corpus Follow-up Study of Dialects of Finnish, with an updated license

Until the year 2020, the resource Follow-up Study of Dialects of Finnish was available via the LAT platform in the Language Bank of Finland. The same data set is now offered as a downloadable version.

Due to the personal data included in the corpus, access to the Follow-up Study of Dialects of Finnish is restricted to individual researchers who have been granted rights to use the resource. The license now also includes resource-specific data protection terms and conditions (see the license page) with which the users must comply.

The data protection terms and conditions of the Follow-up Study of Dialects of Finnish were compiled together with the Institute for the Languages of Finland (Kotus) and with the researchers who were involved in preparing the resource.

Were you previously granted rights to use a version of the Follow-up Study of Dialects of Finnish via the Language Bank?

  1. Familiarize yourself with the updated license, including the data protection terms and conditions, and follow them carefully. In case you do not agree with the updated terms and conditions, you must stop using the resource in question.
  2. In case you need to continue using the resource, remember to submit or to update the link to the public privacy notice regarding your research to the Language Bank, see instructions).
