Popularizing of corpus linguistics in Georgia was promoted by scholars of the Institute of Empirical Linguistics of Goethe University of Frankfurt: J. Gippert, M. Tandashvili, et al. Since 2012, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University has hosted summer and winter schools in corpus linguistics, digital Kartvelology and digital  humanities. The first Georgian handbook in corpus linguistics was published by M. Tandashvili and Z. Purtskhvanidze in 2014, entitled "Corpus Linguistics Paradigm in Linguistics" and in 2018 by R. Khalvashi's authorship − "Introduction to Digital Humanities". In the process of documenting Georgian languages, the leading role is also given by the Institute of Empirical Linguistics of Goethe University of Frankfurt. As a result, we have a many sources such as TITUS-ARMAZI (Alternative Resources, Materials, Applications and Zipped Information – Caucasian Languages and Cultures: Email Documentation) − 1999-2002, ECLinG (Endangered Caucasian Languages in Georgia) Languages in Georgia) − 2002-2005, SSGG (Die Soziolinguistische Situation im gegenwärtigen Georgien – Sociolinguistic situation in modern Georgia), 2005-2007. Besides the above mentioned electronic resources, the Georgian National Corpus Project (GNCC) has laid the foundations for such projects as the Georgian language corpus; Georgian Dialectic Corpus, Georgian Scientific Metalanguage Corpus, Georgian political corpus and etc. At the base of Ilia State University there were also several important projects aimed at building the corpus: Georgian language corpus and The Epigraphic Corpus of Georgia. In addition, the linguistic corpus of the Georgian language, which was created at the Georgian Technical University and Parallel Corpus − parallel corpus of English-Georgian scientific texts, created by the "lexicographic center" of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. Besides the Georgian language corpora, there is also the Georgian webcorpus named KaWaC (Kartvelian Web as a Corpus), which was created within the framework of S. Daraselia's doctoral studies. Thus, after the development of the corpus linguistics in Georgia, many types of corpus and WebCorpus were created, which is a very important fact. Ref. 26.
