abstract = {This contribution offers a first overview of a work-in-progress project
focused on the creation of a multilingual corpus of political discourse. The languages
involved in the project are German, French and Italian, and the data contained in the
corpus are both (digital) written and spoken texts. The corpus is meant to be a
collaborative source for the politolinguistic scientific community in order to facilitate
the process of data collection. The selection of the texts is founded on the definition
of ‘populism’, since the further aim of the project is to investigate the rise of populist
discourse from 2022 until the present days. However, the project can be expanded in
the future to involve the entire political spectrum and all types of political actors. The
planned methods for the creation of the corpus as well as their potential limitations are
delved into and the expected results are presented},
