The Electronic Corpus of 17th- and 18th-century Polish Texts

Abstract

Abstract The paper describes the process of building the electronic corpus of 17th- and 18th-century Polish texts, a relatively large, balanced, structurally and morphologically annotated resource of the Middle Polish language, available for searching at https://www.korba.edu.pl . The corpus consists of samples extracted from over seven hundred texts written and published between 1601 and 1772, summing up to a total size of 13.5 million tokens which makes it one of the largest historical corpora for a Slavic language.
