 Polish English

A linguistic corpus is a collection of texts where one can find the typical use of a single word or a phrase, as well as their meaning and grammatical function. Nowadays, without access to a language corpus, it has become impossible to do linguistic research, to write dictionaries, grammars and language teaching books, to create search engines sensitive to Polish inflexion, machine translation engines and software of advanced language technology. Language corpora have become an essential tool for linguists, but they are also helpful for software engineers, scholars of literature and culture, historians, librarians and other specialists of art and computer sciences.

There already exist national corpora compiled by the British, Germans, Czech and Russians. Polish people also need an extensive, well balanced language corpus – a language source which can be accessed online.

The National Corpus of Polish is a shared initiative of four institutions: Institute of Computer Science at the Polish Academy of Sciences (coordinator), Institute of Polish Language at the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Scientific Publishers PWN, and the Department of Computational and Corpus Linguistics at the University of Łódź. It has been registered as a research-development project of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

These four institutions have started cooperation to build a reference corpus of Polish language containing hundreds millions of words. The corpus that will appear soon on this site will be searchable by means of advanced tools that analyse Polish inflection and the Polish sentence structure.

The list of sources for the corpora contains classic literature, daily newspapers, specialist periodicals and journals, transcripts of conversations, and a variety of short-lived and internet texts. For a corpus to be reliable, not only it is necessary to contain a high number of words, but it also needs a diversity of texts with respect to the subject and genre. The conversations ought to represent both male and female speakers, in various age groups, coming from various regions in Poland.

Whole texts are included, whenever possible. They are split in text_structure.xml into frontmatter, body and backmatter, and only the part in the body is annotated linguistically.

For privacy reasons, some of the people's names mentioned in the transcribed conversations have been modified. Uppercase characters are only used in popular proper nouns.

Titles of spoken-conversational transcriptions were arbitrarily assigned by annotators. They are metadata elements separate from the contents of transcribed conversations.

In case of obvious systematic code page conversion errors in some texts, corrections were made semi-automatically.

 Used to denote the speaker's longest place of residence. (Used only for spoken data.) The topic of a conversation (i.e., used only for spoken data). Contains feature and feature-value libraries.

The xml:id attribute of the teiHeader element for each text contains the unique identifier of that text in the whole NKJP corpus. Its value should consist of 1) "IJPPAN", "IPIPAN", "PWN" or "PELCRA", 2) the underscore "_" and 3) a sequence of digits unique for texts from the partner indicated in 1).

Wyd. 5 popr. i rozsz., stan na dzień 31 grudnia 2004 roku. PANTERA Tagger (April 2011) Header accepted by NKJP partners on 25 June 2009, after a discussion at the NKJP meeting in Cracow on 19 June 2009 and ensuing modifications. Any further changes to this header 1) must be recorded below, 2) must be monotonic (cannot necessitate changes in the encoding of existing files). Any further changes to schemata validating this header must also be monotonic (previous versions of the header must still validate). Added the fsLib to encodingDesc with features defined for two versions of the Anotatornia tool. Added profileDesc. Changed catDesc to desc, as only one catDesc is allowed within category, but multiple desc elements may occur there. Without this change this apparently wouldn't be a TEI document (not even TEI Extension). This looks like a bug in TEI Guidelines, so it has been reported in the TEI Bug Tracker. Various respStmt additions and modifications. Reference to ann_structure.xml in samplingDecl replaced by reference to text_structure.xml.
