Abstract

The article consists of a principled discussion of how parallel corpora can be used when working with grammatical documentation and lexicographic and terminological language planning for minority languages. An important point is that explicit tools are needed to transfer results achieved in majority language research over to other languages which generally have fewer resources available.
