===== Access to the texts =====

After [[https://www.korpus.cz/signup|registration]] the corpus can be searched using a web interface. The registration is valid for all ICNC corpora with public access. If you already have a user name and password for the Czech part of the Czech National Corpus, you do not need to register for the parallel corpus.

InterCorp can be accessed via a standard web browser from [[http://kontext.korpus.cz/|KonText]], the integrated search interface of the Czech National Corpus.  A tutorial is available [[kurz:uvod|in Czech]], for one of the ICNC corpora also [[en:kurz:uvod|in English]] and for InterCorp [[en:kurz:hledani_v_paralelnim_korpusu|a summary also in English]].

After signing a non-profit licence agreement, texts from InterCorp can also be acquired as bilingual files including shuffled pairs of sentences. Please contact [[alexandr.rosen@ff.cuni.cz|Alexandr Rosen]] if you are interested.

New release of InterCorp is usually published once per year. With each new release, its size, possibly also the number of languages and the extent and quality of annotation may grow. Previous versions remain available (starting with release 6). The linguistic annotation of release 13ud is based on the  [[https://universaldependencies.org|Universal Dependencies]] scheme.

===== Main differences between releases 13 and 13ud =====

  * In release 13ud, out of the total number of 41 languages (including Czech), **36 are linguistically annotated**; in addition, all such languages are **syntactically annotated**.
  * Texts are **annotated in the same way** in all languages, according to the UD standard ([[https://universaldependencies.org|Universal Dependencies]]).
  * For a detailed description of UD as used in the annotation of InterCorp see [[en:pojmy:ud|Universal Dependencies]].
  * Annotation was performed for all languages by [[https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe|UDPipe]], based on the data created in the UD project.((The tool uses all data for the given language, ie all treebanks listed on [[https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/services/udpipe/IUDPipe]].

===== Texts in the corpus =====

InterCorp release 13ud contains the **same texts** as InterCorp release 13. They **differ only in linguistic annotation**. However, the token and word count data in release 13ud may differ slightly due to a different tokenization method.

The **core** of InterCorp consists mostly of fiction, manually aligned. Intercorp offers also a selection of fully automatically processed texts, so-called **collections**. The choice in the present release includes:

  * Political commentaries published by [[http://www.project-syndicate.org/|Project Syndicate]] and [[http://www.voxeurop.eu|VoxEurop]] (formerly PressEurop)
  * A package of legal texts of the European Union form the [[https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/language-technologies/jrc-acquis|Acquis Communautaire]] corpus
  * Proceedings of the European Parliament dated 2007–2011 from the [[http://www.statmt.org/europarl/|Europarl]] corpus
  * Film subtitles from the [[http://www.opensubtitles.org/|Open Subtitles]] database
  * Translations of the Bible

These texts have been aligned automatically: search results may include a higher number of misaligned segments. Moreover, the collections do not retain all texts from the original resource. This includes texts that have no Czech counterpart. Some texts from the //Acquis Communautaire// and //Europarl// corpora have been partially corrected or omitted – as a result, they may differ in form or size if compared with the original source. A similar selection was applied to the //Open Subtitles// database, where – as an additional reduction – only a single translation was selected per title and language. On the other hand, some metadata items missing in the original resource but detectable from context or other sources have been added.

Each text has a Czech counterpart. As a result, Czech is the pivot language: for every text there is a single Czech version (original or translation), aligned with one or more foreign-language versions. The total size of the available part of InterCorp in release 13 published in November 2020 is 328 mil. words in the aligned foreign language texts in the core part and 1,223 mil. words in the collections. The number of words in the Czech texts is 114 mil. in the core part and 90 mil. in the collections (see [[en:cnk:intercorp:historie|Version history]]). The share of the core and the collections in the corpus can be seen in the following charts. The charts show the volumes in millions of words.
