Thanks to the sup­port of TA ČR, we have been able to work on the HiČKoK project – His­to­ry of Czech in the cor­pus con­tin­u­um since Sep­tem­ber. In co­op­er­a­tion with the Czech Lan­guage In­sti­tute, the Na­tion­al Li­brary and the IFAL MFF UK, we will cre­ate a uni­form­ly an­no­tat­ed cor­pus that will cov­er 8 cen­turies of […]

Re­lease 16 of the In­ter­Corp par­al­lel cor­pus has been pub­lished. Thanks to the up­dat­ed Open­Sub­ti­tles pack­age, the cor­pus has al­most tripled in size with 20 new lan­guages. An overview of all the en­hance­ments can be found in the ver­sion his­to­ry.

We have re­leased a new ver­sion of the di­achron­ic cor­pus of Low­er Sor­bian pre­pared by the Cot­tbus-Chóśe­buz branch of the Sor­bian In­sti­tute. The new ver­sion is not on­ly larg­er, but it al­so in­cludes nor­mal­i­sa­tion and lem­ma­ti­sa­tion of the texts.

We have re­leased ver­sion 2.0 of the Map­ka ap­pli­ca­tion for work­ing with spo­ken and di­alec­tal cor­po­ra. It fea­tures en­hanced de­sign, more in­tu­itive in­ter­face and sig­nif­i­cant­ly en­riched con­tent: sam­ples from spo­ken cor­po­ra and overviews of di­alec­tal fea­tures.

Our colleagues have been successful in the TA CR SIGMA Programme and got funding for projects History of Czech in corpus continuum (grant holder dr. Martin Stluka) and Multiword units for digital education (grant holder dr. Marie Kopřivová).

We are re­leas­ing To­tali­ta, a di­achron­ic cor­pus of writ­ten Czech from the com­mu­nist regime pe­ri­od (1948–1989). The cor­pus served as a ma­te­r­i­al base for the dic­tio­nary pub­lished in 2010.

To­geth­er with our col­leagues from JÚĽŠ, we have launched the Czechoslo­vak Word of the Week se­ries. A new word ap­pears every Mon­day morn­ing, the columns are then reprint­ed in Fri­day edi­tions of both Czech Deník N and Slo­vak Den­ník N.

An up­date of Treq, the on­line tool for look­ing up trans­la­tion equiv­a­lents, is out! Its data­base has been up­dat­ed to re­lease 15 of the In­ter­Corp par­al­lel cor­pus.

The sec­ond gen­er­a­tion of ON­LINE cor­po­ra was pub­lished. As a con­tin­u­a­tion of the first gen­er­a­tion and thanks to its dai­ly up­dates, ON­LINE2 is a per­fect source of da­ta to ex­am­ine cur­rent trends in pub­lic dis­course.

We have made pub­licly avail­able APIs for query­ing Kon­Text and Treq. The num­ber of ap­pli­ca­tions with open API will grow in the fu­ture.
