Abstract:

The aim of this article is to present the IPI PAN Corpus (cf. http://korpus.pl/), a large morphosyntactically annotated XML encoded corpus of Polish developed at the Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, and describe its potential and actual use in natural language processing and in linguistic research. In particular, various quantitative information about the corpus and its publicly available subcorpora is provided including: sizes in terms of orthographic words and interpretable segments, tagset size measured in types and tokens, etc., but also information reflecting interesting facts about Polish, i.e., frequencies of words of different lengths, frequencies of grammatical classes and some grammatical categories, and initial frequency lists of Polish lemmata.
