We are proud to an­nounce that Czech Na­tion­al Cor­pus has been of­fi­cial­ly rec­og­nized as a CLAR­IN K-cen­tre in the area of cor­pus lin­guis­tics with em­pha­sis on the em­pir­i­cal re­search of Czech.

Tam­ing the Cor­pus: From In­flec­tion and Lex­is to In­ter­pre­ta­tion – a new book on em­pir­i­cal re­search based on Czech da­ta has just been pub­lished by Springer.

Two new cor­po­ra have been pub­lished in No­vem­ber 2018: Kodi­tex, spe­cial­ized cor­pus com­piled for mul­ti-di­men­sion­al analy­sis of Czech reg­is­ters, and nkjp_1m, man­u­al­ly an­no­tat­ed one-mil­lion sub­cor­pus of the Na­tion­al Cor­pus of Pol­ish.

An up­dat­ed ver­sion of the Kon­Text in­ter­face is now avail­able with new func­tions, such as trans­la­tion equiv­a­lents from Treq dis­played di­rect­ly in Kon­Text (for par­al­lel cor­po­ra) or CQL ed­i­tor with syn­tax high­light­ing.
