BACKGROUND
On 29 December 2021, Jiajin Xu launched the GLOBE (Global Languages Out of BFSU Expertise) Corpus project, an initiative which aims to collect present-day written texts in all 101 languages that are taught at BFSU. The sampling frame of the Brown Corpus was followed to make the multilingual GLOBE corpus family comparable to the Brown family corpora. The immediate application of the GLOBE is meant to be corpus-based dictionary compilation. The first batch of the corpora covers about 30 languages.
The faGLOBE Corpus is a sub-project of the BFSU-funded GLOBE Corpus projects (Ref. 2022SYLZD015 and 2022SYLPY004), whose principal investigator is Prof. Jiajin Xu at the National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education, BFSU. Out of the projected corpora of 101 languages, the Farsi corpus is the first corpus made publicly available.

背景
2021年12月29日，北外启动了“北外全球语料库集群”项目，又称“GLOBE语料库”项目。GLOBE的英文全称为Corpus of Global Languages Out of BFSU Expertise。该语料库集群旨在建设北外开设的101个语种的当代书面语语料库。
北外全球语料库集群中的单语平衡库借鉴布朗语料库的采样方案，使之与现有布朗家族语料库具有可比性，从而可开展相关外英或外汉对比研究。建设该系列语料库的首要应用目的是开展基于语料库的多语种词典编纂。首批建设的GLOBE家族语料库约为30个语种。
faGLOBE波斯语平衡语料库是北外中国外语与教育研究中心许家金主持的北外双一流项目“北外全球语料库集群”（项目编号：2022SYLZD015及2022SYLPY004）的子课题。
faGLOBE波斯语平衡语料库是“北外全球语料库集群”中首个建成的非通用语种语料库。
