| In the synchronic part of the analysis it is possible to use [[wp>Lemma_(psycholinguistics)|lemmatization]] (i.e. to search for an entire lexeme including all of its possible forms), however extra care must be taken when assessing the results. While the SYN series corpora use standard lemmatization, data for spoken Czech and for correspondence are not lemmatized, and therefore the extent of the lemma is estimated based on the written language (the query is first assessed in the SYN2010 corpus and based on the forms identified a query for the non-lemmatized corpora is constructed. | In the synchronic part of the analysis it is possible to use [[en:pojmy:lemma|lemmatization]] (i.e. to search for an entire lexeme including all of its possible forms), however extra care must be taken when assessing the results.

| The synchronic part provides information about the distribution of phenomena in written texts (based on the [[en:pojmy:atributy_strukturni|structural attributes]] //[[en:pojmy:txtype|txtype]]// and //[[en:pojmy:genre|genre]]//) and in spoken language (based on the attributes of gender, age, education and region). All data are made relative with regard to the size of the given category in the corpora. | The synchronic part provides information about the distribution of phenomena in written texts (based on the [[en:pojmy:atributy_strukturni|structural attributes]] //[[en:pojmy:txtype|txtype]]// and //[[en:pojmy:genre|genre]]//) and in spoken language (based on the attributes of gender, age, education and region).

| The basis for the diachronic analysis is the Diakon corpus which is composed of the [[en:cnk:diakorp|Diakorp]] corpus texts, expanded upon with data from earlier forms of Czech which have not yet been reviewed manually. A makeshift list of source texts before the year 1989 is available in the [[en:seznamy:index#zdrojove_texty_diachronnich_korpusu|lists]] section. The most modern period is represented by a selection from the synchronic corpora of the [[en:cnk:syn|SYN]] series. Due to the fact that the older texts are not yet [[wp>Lemma_(psycholinguistics)|lemmatized]], it is possible to use only the [[en:pojmy:word|word]] attribute (word form) for queries. | The basis for the diachronic analysis is the Diakon corpus which is composed of the [[en:cnk:diakorp|Diakorp]] corpus texts, expanded upon with data from earlier forms of Czech which have not yet been reviewed manually.

| The SyD application will evaluate all queries and find their relative frequencies in various timer periods. Because the coverage of all the time periods is not optimal, it is advisable to understand the temporal information to be more of an approximation, and to use a moving average (with an adjustable window) for displaying trends. The portrayal on the timeline also includes an error rate which should also be taken into account when analyzing data. | The SyD application will evaluate all queries and find their relative frequencies in various timer periods.
