TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Corpora are electronic collections of authentic texts that were structured according to predefined standards and goals. They include tools for multilayered language data search.
Gigafida 2.0Reference corpus of written standard SloveneGigafida 2.0 is an extensive and thoughtfully composed reference corpus containing 1,134,693,933 words from 38,310 texts which were composed between 1990 and 2018. The Gigafida 2.0 corpus is a fundamental data source of modern Slovene used for linguistic research, describing the language (dictionaries, grammars), preparing learning materials, developing a variety of language resources and processes. Unlike the previous editions, the 2.0 version is a corpus of standard Slovene, which means it mainly contains text that are written in the standard language. |

Šolar 3.0Corpus of school written productsŠolar 3.0 contains the same texts as Šolar 2.0, but significant improvements have been made at the level of the format, which is now a specialised XML TEI for corpora with linguistic corrections. Error annotations in some 350 texts have been manually corrected, and newer versions of tools for different levels of linguistic annotation have been used. As a result, the morphosyntactic tags more reliable and new annotation levels are available, e.g. dependency syntax and named entities. The corpus is available in the CLARIN.SI concordancers, with the students’ source texts and the teacher-corrected texts offered separately. |

KresBalanced corpus of modern written SloveneKres was sampled from the Gigafida corpus and is a balanced corpus that contains almost 100 million words, or exactly 99,831,145 words. Basic sampling units were not entire corpus documents but random paragraphs, which means individual works are represented in a better way. In comparison to Gigafida, the Kres corpus is meant for any type of linguistic inquiries that strive to achieve a reference role that can stem form the corpus sample – a sample, with a well-thought-out, known and balanced structure. |

GosCorpus of spoken SloveneGos includes the transcripts of approximately 120 hours of speech that we are exposed to on a daily basis in various situations: radio and TV shows, school lessons and lectures, private conversations between friends or within the family, work meetings, consultations, conversations in buying and selling situations, etc. All speech is transcribed in two versions – with pronunciation-based spelling and with standardized spelling – and it comprises over one million words. The corpus can be searched by means of a web concordancer; furthermore, for all concordances it is possible to listen to the corresponding recordings. |

Šolar 1.0Corpus of school textsThe Šolar corpus includes authentic texts written by Slovene primary and secondary school pupils. It contains one million words or, more exactly, 967,477 words.

LektorCorpus of copy-edited textsLektor is an extensive collection of copyrighted texts and translations and is intended for anyone who is interested in the process of copyediting. This type of corpus enables us to see the most frequent language errors in Slovene (excluding prefferential and stylistic corrections). It includes modern non-literary, mostly technical and popualar-science texts which were all written by different authors and corrected by different copyeditors. It contains 30,258 copyedits which are divided into 5 main categories (style, morphology, ortography, syntax and pragmatics) and 50 subcategories. |
