GeCzLex 1.0 is an online electronic resource for translation equivalents of Czech and German discourse connectives. It contains anaphoric connectives for both languages and their possible translations documented in bilingual parallel corpora (not necessarily anaphoric). The entries have been interlinked via semantic annotation of the connectives (taken from monolingual lexicons of connectives CzeDLex and DiMLex) according to the PDTB 3 sense taxonomy and translation possibilities aquired from the Czech and German parallel data of the Intercorp project. The lexicon is the first bilingual inventory of connectives with linkage on the level of individual pairs (connective + discourse sense).
LiFR-Law is a corpus of Czech legal and administrative texts with measured reading comprehension and a subjective expert annotation of diverse textual properties based on the Hamburg Comprehensibility Concept (Langer, Schulz von Thun, Tausch, 1974). It has been built as a pilot data set to explore the Linguistic Factors of Readability (hence the LiFR acronym) in Czech administrative and legal texts, modeling their correlation with actually observed reading comprehension. The corpus is comprised of 18 documents in total; that is, six different texts from the legal/administration domain, each in three versions: the original and two paraphrases. Each such document triple shares one reading-comprehension test administered to at least thirty readers of random gender, educational background, and age. The data set also captures basic demographic information about each reader, their familiarity with the topic, and their subjective assessment of the stylistic properties of the given document, roughly corresponding to the key text properties identified by the Hamburg Comprehensibility Concept.

Changes to the previous version and helpful comments
• File names of the comprehension test results (self-explanatory)
• Corrected one erroneous automatic evaluation rule in the multiple-choice evaluation (zahradnici_3,
TRUE and FALSE had been swapped)
• Evaluation protocols for both question types added into Folder lifr_formr_study_design
• Data has been cleaned: empty responses to multiple-choice questions were re-inserted. Now, all surveys
are considered complete that have reader’s subjective text evaluation complete (these were placed at
the very end of each survey).
• Only complete surveys (all 7 content questions answered) are represented. We dropped the replies of
six users who did not complete their surveys.
• A few missing responses to open questions have been detected and re-inserted.
• The demographic data contain all respondents who filled in the informed consent and the demographic
details, with respondents who did not complete any test survey (but provided their demographic
details) in a separate file. All other data have been cleaned to contain only responses by the regular
respondents (at least one completed survey).

Lingua::Interset is a universal morphosyntactic feature set to which all tagsets of all corpora/languages can be mapped. Version 2.026 covers 37 different tagsets of 21 languages. Limited support of the older drivers for other languages (which are not included in this package but are available for download elsewhere) is also available; these will be fully ported to Interset 2 in future.
Interset is implemented as Perl libraries. It is also available via CPAN.

Document-level testsuite for evaluation of gender translation consistency.
Our Document-Level test set consists of selected English documents from the WMT21 newstest annotated with gender information. Czech unnanotated references are also added for convenience.
We semi-automatically annotated person names and pronouns to identify the gender of these elements as well as coreferences.
Our proposed annotation consists of three elements: (1) an ID, (2) an element class, and (3) gender.
The ID identifies a person's name and its occurrences (name and pronouns).
The element class identifies whether the tag refers to a name or a pronoun.
Finally, the gender information defines whether the element is masculine or feminine.
We performed a series of NLP techniques to automatically identify person names and coreferences.
This initial process resulted in a set containing 45 documents to be manually annotated.
Thus, we started a manual annotation of these documents to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Segment from Český zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czech Aktualita Sound Newsreel) issue no. 50B from 1943 shows how, as part of mandatory service, girls aged 10 to 18 had to exercise for two hours a week under the supervision of trained instructors of the Board of Trustees for the Education of Youth.
Segment from Československý zvukový týdeník Aktualita (Czechoslovak Aktualita Sound Newsreel) 1942, issue no. 25, depicts a public demonstration on Cabbage Market Square (Zelný trh) in Brno on 12 June 1942, which was to vociferously condemn the assassination of Acting Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich. The gathering was attended by 12,000 people. A grandstand in the middle of the crowded square is decorated with the Imperial Eagle and the national emblems of Bohemia and Moravia. The main speaker, Minister of Education and People´s Enlightenment Emanuel Moravec, encourages Czech people to take into account the past. The segment concludes with the Czech anthem (authentic sound and singing) with images of people with arms raised in the Nazi salute.
