It lists approximately 150,000 records, classified in several thousand subject listings on authors, periods, concepts, genres, etc.; these listings are grouped in approx. 4000 text files.

The database features a collection of more than 3000 bibliographic entries on secondary literature on avant-garde and neo-avant-garde related themes and topics. The entries are searchable via various different keyword functions including the categories ‘movement’ (i.e. “Dada”, “Surrealism”, “Situationist International” etc.), ‘main topic’ (“dadaist art”, “surrealist literature”, “photomontage” etc.) and ‘main author/artist discussed’. We want scholars to be able to search precisely for literature on very specific avant-garde related topics (such as less well-known movements or individuals, or particular avant-garde techniques, or literature on specific art forms within the various movements etc.), which are often not searchable in ordinary library catalogues. The information featured in each single entry includes: author/creator and contributors (in case of essay collections), time and place of publication, publisher, type of publication [i.e. monograph, essay collection, exhibition catalogue, catalogue raisonné, essay, review etc], language, and ISBN or ISSN numbers. We have attempted to cover relevant literature on major movements and individuals of the respective periods. Most works in the database are in English, though significant literature in other languages has also been included in some cases. The database mainly features secondary literature, i.e. literature about the avant-garde rather than by the avant-garde. However, exceptions have been made in those cases where the writers and painters of the avant-garde have written theoretical assessments, analytical pieces or declarations of intentions which are relevant for the understanding of the avant-garde’s endeavours. This is why certain manifestos, key essays, programmatic statements or reviews have been included. These are usually designated in the ‘type’ category as ‘programme/manifesto/statement’.

Each corpus is accompanied by a project description, and details of tasks, learners, as well as explanations about the software used (CHILDES), and any SLA specific modifications which have been added to the CHILDES transcription conventions. Each corpus can be searched according to a range of criteria (e.g. sex of learner, school year, task used etc…), and the output of searches can be downloaded for analysis. Alternatively, files can be accessed directly from each corpus. Details can be found on the project website: www.flloc.soton.ac.uk. The corpora included in the database come from diverse sources, but have all been donated for shared use by SLA researchers in the United Kingdom and in Europe. The database currently includes 1375 transcripts and accompanying soundfiles, as well as files which have been tagged morphosyntactically, as follows: - 60 learners in years 7, 8 and 9 in the UK context (age 12-14; longitudinal; range of narrative and interactive tasks – 650 transcripts) - 20 learners in each of years 9, 10 and 11 in the UK (age 14-16; cross-sectional; four tasks each, some repeated from above project – 240 transcripts) - 34 learners (age 16; UK GCSE oral examination; 26 native controls – 60 transcripts) - 12 university undergraduate learners in the UK (longitudinal; narrative and interactive tasks – 300 transcripts). - 125 Dutch learners of French (narrative task; 18-year olds – 125 transcripts) The text files may be downloaded here, but the audio files are available by request only.

OTA website Gidian Archives is a database created from the press cuttings preserved by André Gide in his personal collection. The archive consists of articles published during his life on the author's work, his person and his influence on the society and culture of his age. It is well known that the 'key contemporary', as Gide was called, represents an essential reference point for several generations of intellectuals. Thus the articles in Gidian Archives provide crucial evidence on the history of thought across half a century. In addition to press cuttings tracing the critical reception of each of Gide's works, the archives contain polemical articles on his cultural interventions, on his political commitments and on matters of contemporary concern. Through what his professional readers say about Gide it is possible to follow the careers of other writers who declared and defined their own thought in dialogue with his. Similarly, the evolution of periodicals which published texts on Gide can be traced by means of this key research tool. The interest of the collection extends well beyond Gide studies. The archive is rich in information on numerous aspects of the history of literature, society, culture, politics, ideology, etc., in the first half of the twentieth century. The Search Engine makes it possible to find articles on a given theme ('mots clefs') or an individual ('noms propes'). One can track down all the articles by a particular writer ('auteur') or published in a specific review ('Titre de la revue'). Similarly, items can be selected by date.
