This workshop at the Corpus Linguistics (CL2023) conference will focus on practical issues for how corpus linguists can benefit from the well-developed ‘Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure’ (CLARIN) for language as social and cultural data (https://www.clarin.eu/). The organisers will present a brief overview of the CLARIN infrastructure including the easy to use language resources, the knowledge infrastructure, the participating consortia from across Europe, and a large set of resource families covering corpora, lexical resources, and NLP tools for tagging and annotation of corpora (https://www.clarin.eu/resource-families).

Participants will learn how to access and search the existing corpora and tools in the CLARIN research infrastructure and how to embed or deposit their own resources and tools in one of the centres of the infrastructure (with reference to annotation, formats and standards, metadata, licencing and documentation).

The organisers will present examples of key resources and tools such as those from the ParlaMint project (https://www.clarin.eu/parlamint).
