Tools
The new version of the tool Developer for visualization of word usage over time in SVG format: the tool allows users to query the corpus prim-7.0 and compare word trends in different subcorpora according the text style. Clicking on data point on the graph leads to the number of occurrences of queried word in the corpus in the analysed time span (for registered users only).
Text contributors
In recent months, new texts together with new names have arrived in databases of the Slovak National Corpus, e.g. translator Andrej Chovan, numismatist Vladimír Kovár, journalist and translator Agneša Kalinová, who was one of our most influential movie critics in the 1950's, and Ján Ladislav Kalina, Slovak writer, humorist, screenwriter, translator, journalist (both Kalinová and Kalina courtesy of their daughter Julia Sherwood). The corpus has been enriched with texts by German translator Mirko Kraetsch and writer Ivana Auxtová, who began to write children's literature. We appreciate your help and your cooperation.
