A comprehensive corpus of news articles on the topic of language, published in major daily newspapers and news portals in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the five-year period of January 1, 2015 - January 1, 2020. The corpus is designed to facilitate research on metalanguage (‘language about language’), linguistic ideologies, language policy and planning, as well as the specific contemporary debates on language defining, naming, and standardisation, ongoing in post-Yugoslav societies. The corpus is available in plain text version and XML with full metadata.
MetaLangNEWS-Bs is complemented with a separate corpus of citizen metalanguage comments, i.e. online comments to the news articles, available as MetaLangNEWS-COMMENTS-Bs (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1691).
