Description

This data collection (mini corpus) collects fifteen speeches of three speakers, Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sánchez, and Angela Merkel, with five speeches per speaker. Four of their speeches are from between March and June, 2020, and one speech per speaker is from October or November, 2020. The speeches share important parallels in content and the speakers have similar intentions.
