The case of InterCorp, a multilingual parallel corpus
This paper introduces InterCorp, a parallel corpus including texts in Czech and 27 other languages, available for online searches via a web interface. After discussing some issues and merits of a multilingual resource we argue that it has an important role especially for languages with fewer native speakers, supporting both comparative research and studies of the language from the perspective of other languages. We proceed with an overview of the…
Spoken Corpora Design
From a linguistic point of view, spoken corpora should be primary for research but that has not been the case so far. Hence, the problem of what should be included in the corpora has hardly ever been considered. Often it would appear that anything spoken is included on an ad hoc basis. The need and scarcity of real prototypical spoken corpora points to a necessity of mapping the field in its entirety and identifying its relevant parameters. In or…
Czech Collocations
Birgit Steinbugl, Deutsch-englische Kollokationen. Erfassung in zweisprachigen Worterbuchern und Grenzen der korpusbasierten Analyse
The goal of this contribution is to research and assess the role of collocations in bilingual dictionaries, based in this case on an examination of dictionaries and their criticism. Along the way B. Steinbügl has to make clear what might become her starting-point, namely what is best considered to be collocations, how to reconcile her findings with current lexicographic approaches and, before arriving at some conclusions, what is the current prac…
New generation corpus-based frequency dictionaries
With a brief outline of the history of frequency dictionaries of the past, a renewed need for these dictionaries, based on modern large corpora, is observed. A linguistic background and some criticism of what has been done is offered. It is stressed that, next to the traditional and predominant paradigmatic approach, at least some attention should be paid to syntagmatic or combinatorial aspects of the lexis as well, as these are readily available…
Modality in Czech and English
The paper examines two kinds of modality exponents and their interlingual relationships, using an aligned parallel minicorpus of two contemporary Czech originals (drama and novel) and their English translations. It focuses on four most frequent Czech adverbial particles of possibility/approximation: snad, mozná, asi, nejspí e, and the Czech conditional mood marker by in the texts and their equivalents. It contrasts the findings with the equivalen…
Today's corpus linguistics
The paper is concerned with problems of methodology. Against this background, the situation of today's corpora is discussed and some fields are identified as being in a far from satisfactory shape. The place of corpora in linguistics is briefly looked at, suggesting that structuralist tradition is the only one to use them extensively. Problems of annotation and ways, less (statistical) or more successful (rule-based), are raised and discussed. He…
Substance of Idioms
In the following remarks, some of the major recurrent problems of the phenomenon of the idiom, or, alternatively, phraseme and, partly, of its discipline, i. e. idiomatics or phraseology, will be taken up. In so doing, the roots of these problems will be sought. A brief analysis of some cases and of how dictionaries deal with idioms is followed by a restatement of major aspects of the discipline and a list of desiderata
Czech National Corpus
Against the background of some of the major linguistic problems which demand our attention and which should point to some badly-needed criteria, the brief history and structure of the Czech National Corpus is outlined. The points seen as open include differences between various languages in their degree of ex-plicitness, form-function relation, ellipsis, etc. It is argued that a more general and language-independent approach is necessary to handl…
