| Areas of competence | Atypical communication encompasses language and speech as encountered during (second) language acquisition and development, and in language disorders, but also more broadly in bilingual language development and in sign language. ACE is specialised in this type of research and concomitant infrastructural issues related to data acquisition, processing and sharing, which is typically highly characterised by sensitivity issues. For data storage and access the centre collaborates with MPI's TLA (The Language Archive) which is a CLARIN B Centre and also based in Nijmegen. We publish in English and Dutch but have expertise in many European languages. |

| Areas of competence | The CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Croatian language (CROATINA) provides relevant knowledge about Croatian language and promotes the use of language technologies. CROATINA Helpdesk is a service offering information about the variety of topics related to Croatian language, Croatian language learning and use of language resources. CROATINA also offers help in depositing language resources in HR-CLARIN or other repositories. While the existing K-centre CLASSLA is oriented primarily towards the language resources for all South-Slavic languages, CROATINA will offer complementary language resources specific for Croatian only. Additionally, through FAQ and helpdesk CROATINA will cover relevant linguistic information about the Croatian language, its history, structure at all language levels, typological features, sociolinguistic environment, level of the language technological support, and other linguistically and technologically relevant information. Following their research interests and different language resources two K-centres offer, the users should be able to select the relevant K-centre by themselves, or they could approach CROATINA for additional guidance. |
