AdoC – Adopt a Construction is a research project that aims at building the first Italian Constructicon (ItCon), namely a digital resource made of a database of constructions (conventionalized form-meaning pairings) connected by links of various nature, a corpus/treebank of annotated example sentences (in UD-format), and a human-user friendly web application that allows experts and laymen to consult the resource and 'adopt' new constructions.

Construction of a corpus of spoken Italian to investigate diatopic, diaphasic and diastratic variation in Italian. Two modules have already been published (KIP and ParlaTO), three more modules are under construction (KIPPasti, ParlaBO, ParlaBZ), and lemmatization and POS tagging are also planned. To date, the total published size exceeds one million words; it is expected to exceed two million words during 2023.

The project focuses on the collection and dissemination of a body of past and contemporary evidence on the tangible and intangible heritage of the University of Bologna, as a unique example of heritage. The ultimate goal is to enhance the knowledge and enjoyment of the artistic heritage of the city of Bologna precisely through the University.
