Title Tok Pisin corpus
Description This collection was gathered as part of the Pacific Creoles Project (2022-2025), which focused on creating contemporary recordings of Tok Pisin, Solomon Islands Pijin, and Bislama. The recordings are informal interviews and monologues and cover a wide range of topics and experiences, with a focus on natural disasters and challenging situations. Some recordings include content that may be distressing for some listeners, for example, graphic accounts of personal loss, injury, or conflict.

The majority of recordings were made in-country (Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu) by local teams in conjunction with Australian researchers from The Australian National University and The University of Melbourne, and in collaboration with local partners. Some recordings were also made with speakers of the corpus languages in Australia.
The core collection is audio, but many items include video and/or and time-aligned transcription files created in ELAN.

The Pacific Creoles Project was funded by the Commonwealth of Australia. Chief Investigators were Danielle Barth, Bethwyn Evans, Nicholas Evans, and Nick Thieberger. Research Associates on the project were Mae Carroll, Kirsty Gillespie, Sam Passmore, and Lila San Roque.
