The resource offers two data sets: concordances of dual pronoun translations from Lithuanian into English (942 concordance lines) and translations of English pronouns into Lithuanian dual forms (1590 concordance lines). Parallel concordances were retrieved from:

It includes 95 texts by 43 authors, translated by 39 translators, with a total word count 682,936. For more detailed information about the corpus, see Vaičenonienė, J. (2011).
