    Message 1: Czech National Corpus

    Subject: Czech National Corpus


    In November 2000, a 100-million representative corpus of written Czech, called SYN2000, has been officially released for non-commercial use.

    It is a major part of the Czech National Corpus project which consists of other minor corpora, too, and which will be gradually released as well. SYN2000 is basically a contemporary modern corpus (where, for example, newspaper texts date from 1991-1999), which is planned for a many-sided research, dictionary-makers etc. An access to it can be negotiated, against signing a written statement, free of charge through the address http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz which serves also as a web address with some additional information. Next to this, the same address offers a public access to some 20 million of the large corpus in a somewhat limited way, too. An accompanying book about the Czech National Corpus, containg a Manual for using SYN200, which has just come out, is available from the Institute of the Czech National Corpus who is responsible for the corpora developed under the project.
