| C3P is a joint project of the [[https://service.ucl.cas.cz/en/|Institute of Czech Literature of CAS]] and the Institute of the Czech National Corpus, dating back to 2015. As the name suggests, it is a corpus of contemporary Czech poetry texts (delimited by the years 1990 and 2020), i.e. a representative sample of Czech poetry over the last three decades. Significantly, this sample includes not only texts officially published in poetry books, and thus having gone through the standardeditorial process, but also amateur works, concentrated mainly on so-called literary forums. This methodological decision is not due to a desire to democratise poetry; we believe that without texts from the Internet, the picture of contemporary Czech poetry would not be complete, covering only one segment of poetry, which is relatively small in proportion. This would not correspond to the reality that literary forums have played a significant role in the Czech literary context((PIORECKÝ, Karel. Česká literatura a nová média. Praha: Academia, 2016.)), among other things as a platform for the publishing beginnings of some now established poets. This basic dichotomy, by the way, opens up the possibility of confronting and comparing the two modes, distinguished in C3P by the ''doc.medium'' attribute (print vs web). | C3P is a joint project of the [[https://service.ucl.cas.cz/en/|Institute of Czech Literature of CAS]] and the Institute of the Czech National Corpus, dating back to 2015.

| C3P currently contains approximately 37.5 million running words. The print poetry subcorpus includes about 2.7 million words, coming from 20,498 poems printed in 682 poetry collections by 256 authors. The web component of the corpus contains more than 280,000 poems from six literary forums (liter.cz, pismak.cz, totem.cz, libres.cz, psanci.cz, xxvi.cz), comprising over 34 million words. The texts in the print subcorpus were selected with regard to the generational layers of the contemporary poetry scene. Currently, authors of Generations X and Y and baby boomers (i.e. all those born after 1945) are represented here, as we continue to expand the corpus towards older generations. | C3P currently contains approximately 37.5 million running words.
