One characteristic of TGermaCorp is the composition of its primary sources: TGermaCorp is designed in view of capturing the lexical and morpho-syntactic varieties of written German as exhibited in German-speaking literature.
tGermaCorp complements corpora that address the homogeneous style of mainly contemporary German (e.g., newspaper texts) like tIGER (tIGER project, 2003), (Brants et al., 2004), DeReKo (DEREKO project, 1999), (Dipper et al., 2002), or the Huge German Corpus (Stuttgart, 2010), (Schiller et al., 1999), as well as individual language resources like the Kant Korpus (Schmitz and Stark, 2008) (Lenders and Schmitz, 2007).
