Description
Corpus of contemporary written (printed) Czech sized almost 5.5 GW (i.e. 6.6 billion tokens). It covers mostly the 1990-2024 period and features rich metadata including detailed bibliographical information, text-type classification etc. SYN v14 contains a wide variety of text types (fiction, non-fiction, newspapers), but the newspapers prevail noticeably. The corpus is lemmatized and morphologically tagged by the unified CNC tagset, and features also an annotation of multiword expressions. The data provided here exactly correspond to those available via the KonText query interface to registered users of the CNC with one important exception: they are shuffled, i.e. divided into blocks sized max. 100 words (respecting the sentence boundaries) with ordering randomized within the given document. SYN v14 is provided in a semi-XML / CoNLL-U-like vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The vertical format is a sequence of lines. Each of the lines is either a structure (that starts with '<' and ends with '>') or a token (with a fixed set of tab-separated columns). The columns of the SYN v14 token lines are as follows: word / sword [syntactic word] / lemma / sublemma / tag / pos / case / verbtag [verbal tag] / mwe_lemma [multiword lemma] / mwe_tag [multiword tag]
