Re­lease 14 of the SYN cor­pus of con­tem­po­rary writ­ten Czech was pub­lished. As a re­sult of in­clu­sion of jour­nal­is­tic texts from 2024, its size has reached al­most 5.5G words. New in ver­sion 14 is a com­plete­ly re­worked an­no­ta­tion of mul­ti-word units.

We have re­leased SYN2025,  a new syn­chron­ic rep­re­sen­ta­tive cor­pus. It is the sixth con­tin­u­a­tion of the se­ries of ref­er­ence cor­po­ra of print­ed Czech, with its de­sign and an­no­ta­tion (in­clud­ing syn­tax) cor­re­spond­ing in par­tic­u­lar to the SYN2020 cor­pus.

We re­leased a new ver­sion of the host­ed EE­BO cor­pus. Com­pared to its pre­de­ces­sor, EE­BO v2 is al­most twice as large and brings al­so lin­guis­tic an­no­ta­tion (reg­u­lar­i­sa­tion, lem­ma­ti­sa­tion and POS tag­ging) that makes its use much eas­i­er.

We are proud to an­nounce that the CLAR­IN K-cen­tre cer­tifi­cate for the Czech Na­tion­al Cor­pus has been re­newed. The cen­tre is spe­cial­ized in cor­pus lin­guis­tics with the em­pha­sis on em­pir­i­cal re­search of Czech.

Our col­leagues from the Slo­vak Na­tion­al Cor­pus JÚĽŠ SAV in Bratisla­va re­leased a brand new ver­sion of the CNC Map­ka ap­pli­ca­tion adapt­ed for work­ing with Slo­vak di­alects. Con­grat­u­la­tions for their achieve­ment!

In­ter­Corp re­lease 16ud was pub­lished. Text-wise the same as re­lease 16, but with the UD an­no­ta­tion that is com­pa­ra­ble across lan­guages and al­so in­cludes syn­tax. In ad­di­tion, re­lease 16ud fea­tures the met­rics of syn­tac­tic com­plex­i­ty and lex­i­cal di­ver­si­ty.

In co­op­er­a­tion with ICL we up­dat­ed a new cor­pus of con­tem­po­rary Czech po­et­ry (KSP). Com­pared to the pre­vi­ous ver­sion, a num­ber of print­ed col­lec­tions have been added, po­ems from web servers bet­ter fil­tered, and the cor­pus struc­ture sim­pli­fied.

If you need to find out how things look like in cor­pus da­ta, you no longer need to look for a suit­able ap­pli­ca­tion and learn to write a CQL query. You can sim­ply ask the “Cor­pus Lin­guist” mod­el in Chat­G­PT that will ask CNC for you.

On Monday, September 9, 2024, it is exactly 30 years since the Institute of the Czech National Corpus was founded at the Faculty of Arts. We have prepared several new corpora for the anniversary, so you really have a lot to look forward to!
