Summary/Abstract: The paper describes data collection and transcription to develop the Croatian discourse corpus of speakers with aphasia (CroDA), developed within the framework of the project Adult Language Processing (HRZZ 2421-UIP-11-2013) and available from 2017 as part of the AphasiaBank database of multimedia interactions for studying communication among speakers with aphasia. In accordance with the AphasiaBank Protocol, the following discourse tasks were sampled: personal narrative, picture description, story narrative and procedura discourse. Recorded speech was transcribed according to the Codes for Human Analysis of Transcripts (CHAT). CroDA, as the first discourse corpus of speakers with aphasia in Croatian, may provide new insights into specific linguistic features of discourse produced by speakers with aphasia and serve as a useful resource for quantitative and qualitative analysis.
