DeriNet is a lexical network which models derivational relations in the lexicon of Czech. Nodes of the network correspond to Czech lexemes, while edges represent derivational or compositional relations between a derived word and its base word / words. The present version, DeriNet 2.0, contains 1,027,665 lexemes (sampled from the MorfFlex dictionary) connected by 808682 derivational and 600 compositional links.
Compared to previous versions, version 2.0 uses a new format and contains new types of annotations: compounding, annotation of several morphological and other categories of lexemes, identification of root morphs of 244,198 lexemes, semantic labelling of 151,005 relations using five labels and identification of 13 fictitious lexemes.
DeriNet is a lexical network which models derivational relations in the lexicon of Czech. Nodes of the network correspond to Czech lexemes, while edges represent word-formational relations between a derived word and its base word / words. The present version, DeriNet 2.1, contains 1,039,012 lexemes (sampled from the MorfFlex CZ 2.0 dictionary) connected by 782,814 derivational, 50,533 orthographic variant, 1,952 compounding, 295 univerbation and 144 conversion relations.
Compared to the previous version, version 2.1 contains annotations of orthographic variants, full automatically generated annotation of affix morpheme boundaries (in addition to the roots annotated in 2.0), 202 affixoid lexemes serving as bases for compounding, annotation of corpus frequency of lexemes, annotation of verbal conjugation classes and a pilot annotation of univerbation. The set of part-of-speech tags was converted to Universal POS from the Universal Dependencies project.

The present version, DeriNet 2.2, contains:
- 1,040,127 lexemes (sampled from the MorfFlex CZ 2.0 dictionary), connected by
- 782,904 derivational,
- 50,511 orthographic variant,
- 6,336 compounding,
- 288 univerbation, and
- 135 conversion relations.
Compared to the previous version, version 2.1 contains an overhaul of the compounding annotation scheme, 4384 extra compounds, 83 more affixoid lexemes serving as bases for compounding, more parts of speech serving as bases for compounding (adverbs, pronouns, numerals), and several minor corrections of derivational relations.
The present paper focuses on the form of the first person present conditional as a component of explicit performative formulae (EPF), which are considered to be a means directly expressing the communicative function of an utterance. We try to demonstrate that the performative usage of verbs is not limited to indicative forms of imperfective verbs in Czech, as usually stated, but that also the form of the first person present conditional of imperfective as well as perfective verbs is used as an ordinary component of EPF. In Section 2, basic characteristics of EPF are briefly described. Two groups of verbs (verbs of assertion and verbs of appeal) are examined on the basis of language data from two corpora: from the Prague Dependency Treebank 2.0 and SYN2005 corpus (Sect. 3). In Section 4, the performative function of the conditional forms of these verbs is attested by means of Austin’s test and by some other criteria described in theoretical works. We further examine how the propositional content is expressed in analyzed utterances as well as what the difference between the examined EPF with the conditional verb form and the EPF with the indicative form is.
The present study deals with Czech deadjectival derivates with the suffix -ost. In Czech linguistics, the suffix is described as a monofunctional suffix that derives names of qualities (e.g. sladkost ''sweetness''; qualitative meaning). However, as the corpus data demonstrate that the suffix is commonly used for deriving names of bearers of quality (sladkost ''sweet thing''; non-qualitative meaning) in contemporary Czech as well, we propose to consider both the names of qualities and the names of their bearers as direct deadjectival derivates with the suffix -ost. The proposal is supported by an analysis of large data from the SYN2010 corpus. The material documents that, first of all, there is a relation between the frequency of a noun with the suffix -ost and its usage in the non- -qualitative meaning and, secondly, that the existence of plural forms can be interpreted as a signal that the particular noun (except for the most frequent nouns) has a non- -qualitative meaning.

A richly annotated and genre-diversified language resource, The Prague Dependency Treebank – Consolidated 1.0 (PDT-C 1.0, or PDT-C in short in the sequel) is a consolidated release of the existing PDT-corpora of Czech data, uniformly annotated using the standard PDT scheme. PDT-corpora included in PDT-C: Prague Dependency Treebank (the original PDT contents, written newspaper and journal texts from three genres); Czech part of Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (translated financial texts, from English), Prague Dependency Treebank of Spoken Czech (spoken data, including audio and transcripts and multiple speech reconstruction annotation); PDT-Faust (user-generated texts). The difference from the separately published original treebanks can be briefly described as follows: it is published in one package, to allow easier data handling for all the datasets; the data is enhanced with a manual linguistic annotation at the morphological layer and new version of morphological dictionary is enclosed; a common valency lexicon for all four original parts is enclosed. Documentation provides two browsing and editing desktop tools (TrEd and MEd) and the corpus is also available online for searching using PML-TQ.
The Prague Dependency Treebank 2.5 annotates the same texts as the PDT 2.0. The annotation on the original four layers was fixed or improved in various aspects (see Documentation). Moreover, new information was added to the data:

PDT 3.0 is a new version of Prague Dependency Treebank. It contains a large amount of Czech texts with complex and interlinked morphological (2 million words), syntactic (1.5 MW) and semantic annotation (0.8 MW); in addition, certain properties of sentence information structure, multiword expressions, coreference, bridging relations and discourse relations are annotated at the semantic level. and the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic: grants P406/12/0658 "Coreference, discourse relations and information structure in a contrastive perspective", P406/2010/0875 "Computational Linguistics: Explicit description of language and annotated data focused on Czech", 405/09/0729 "From the structure of a sentence to textual relationships", and GPP406/12/P175 (Selected derivational relations for automatic processing of Czech);
