This paper is based on a study which was conducted within the research grant ''Institutions in Life Stories. Multilevel Comparative Analysis of Biographical Narratives of Three Groups of Participants in Czech Society in 20th Century''. The aim of this research was both to describe one possible way of using a corpus to identify relevant differences between three types of text (in this case biographical narratives of three groups of speakers: communist officials, dissidents and so-called common people) and to serve as a basis for further analysis (be it a linguistic, sociological or historical analysis). We tried to point out typical features of the language of each group based on the most frequent expressions (nouns, adjectives etc.) and especially collocations. We also compared the corpus Příběhy (Stories) as a whole with the ORAL2008 corpus of synchronic spoken Czech, the SYN2005 corpus of synchronic written Czech and the Totalita corpus (a corpus of communist propaganda).
This study summarizes a corpus-based analysis of tendencies in register variation of Czech-written fiction texts in the period from 1992 to 2018. The analysis is based on projection of the results from a large sample of Czech prose texts (1070 texts, 12.7 mil. words) on a general register model (established by previous research using multidimensional analysis). The major tendencies found in the material are a decrease of cohesion level, addressee coding and retrospective narration, and increased polythematicity/lexical richness. These findings are supplemented by additional analyses of the role of translation, the position of a text excerpt in the original text (beginning, middle and end) and type of text in the results
Corpus of contemporary written (printed) Czech sized 3.6 GW (i.e. 4.3 billion tokens). It covers mostly the period of 1990–2014 and it is a traditional corpus (as opposed to the web-crawled corpora) with rich metadata containing bibliographical information etc. Although it contains a wide range of text types (fiction, non-fiction, newspapers), the newspapers prevail noticeably. The corpus is lemmatized and morphologically annotated by a combination of stochastic and rule-based methods.
The corpus is provided in a (semi-XML) vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query interface to registered users of the CNC at http://www.korpus.cz with one important exception: the corpus are shuffled, i.e. divided into blocks sized max. 100 words (respecting the sentence boundaries) with ordering randomized within the given document.
Corpus of contemporary written (printed) Czech sized 4.7 GW (i.e. 5.7 billion tokens). It covers mostly the 1990-2019 period and features rich metadata including detailed bibliographical information, text-type classification etc. SYN v9 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 new CNC tagset first utilized for the annotation of the SYN2020 corpus.
SYN v9 is provided in a CoNLL-U-like vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query interface to the registered users of CNC at http://www.korpus.cz with one important exception: the corpus is shuffled, i.e. divided into blocks sized max. 100 words (respecting the sentence boundaries) with ordering randomized within the given document.
Balanced corpus of contemporary written Czech sized 100 MW. It was created as a representation of written language from 2005–2009 and thus it contains a wide range of text types and genres (fiction, professional literature, newspapers etc.) in balanced proportions. The corpus is lemmatized and morphologically tagged by a combination of stochastic and rule-based methods.

Representative corpus of contemporary written Czech sized 100 MW. It was created as a representation of printed language from 2010–2014 containing a wide range of text types (fiction, professional literature, newspapers etc.). The corpus is lemmatized, morphologically and syntactically annotated by a combination of stochastic and rule-based methods. The corpus is provided in a (semi-XML) vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus 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.
