Slovak National Corpus

Slovak-English parallel corpus

The query interface for the complete combined corpus is here.

Parallel Slovak-English Corpus is a database containing automatically sentence aligned texts for both Slovak and English language.

Enter the query term into the input field Search; you may also use the CQL syntax. In the selection box corpus, choose the desired source for a particular term (par-sken-*-sk for Slovak texts and par-sken-*-en for English texts). By clicking on the leftmost column, a short bibliography will be displayed.

Slovak texts are automatically morphologically annotated with the same tagset as in the Slovak National Corpus. English texts are part-of-speech tagged with the Penn Treebank Tagset.
