English Crisis Discourse Corpus for Interpreting Studies and Training (2025–2026)

This dataset contains a corpus of crisis-related institutional discourse compiled from official speeches, statements and public communications published in 2025–2026. The material is based on publicly available texts from European Union institutions and related international events dealing with war, security, defence, humanitarian support, reconstruction and geopolitical instability. The corpus reflects contemporary crisis communication produced in high-pressure political and institutional contexts. The texts were segmented into analytical units suitable for corpus-based research and interpreting studies. Each segment is supplied with contextual metadata including date, speaker, institution, event and discourse type. The dataset was prepared for research in interpreting studies, discourse analysis and translation research. The material may also be used for training students of conference and simultaneous interpreting, as the selected excerpts represent typical features of modern crisis-related institutional discourse.
