The corpus contains recordings from discussion periods at the Icelandic Parliament, during the winter of 2004-2005. The recordings are nearly 21 hours in total and come with detailed transcriptions in text files. Information about the recordings and the speakers, such as their age and gender, are provided as well. The data is intended to reflect natural spoken Icelandic under formal conditions. The discussion periods were chosen as they primarily consist of unprepared speeches that are unlikely to have been written in advance and read out loud. In addition, the aim was on diversity of topics and speakers (w.r.t. their origin, age and gender).
