Type of Organisation: public
Number of Employees: about 10
Activities developed: Research, Education, build-up of the Czech National Corpus and related matters.

The basic goal of the CNC Institute was to build up representative Czech National Corpus of 100 million words in its first stage, i.e. by 2000. Activities directed primarily to this goal include collecting data in various ways, their clean-up, conversion, standardisation, mark-up,recording of evidence, research on related problems and first outputs among which the ultimate goal, though not the only one, is to form a basis for a new dictionary of the Czech language. The Institute of Czech National Corpus aims now at a considerable expansion of the written corpus, moving in the direction of multiples of data. There is also a diachronic corpus being built, covering all past stages of Czech, and a corpus of spoken language. See http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz for information about access. Tools for this work are developped, too, the basic one being a superstructure to the Stuttgart University cqp/xquick programme. Membership in a few projects just recently finished, such as TELRI, Multext-East, and, recently, in the TELRI Association.
