 Description

Gigafida 2.2 is a reference corpus of written Slovene texts published in the period 1990-2018. It is comprised of daily news, magazines, a selection of web texts (a certain portion of which covers news texts as well), and different types of publications (fiction, school books, and non-fiction). The texts have been selected and automatically processed with the aim of creating a corpus that represents a sample of modern standard Slovene and can be used for research in linguistics and other branches of the humanities, for compiling modern dictionaries, grammars, and learning materials, as well as for developing language technologies for Slovene. The main novelty of version 2.2 is the segmentation of texts from the newspapers Delo and Dnevnik, which represent the largest share of newspaper texts in the corpus. In version 2.1, these texts contained entire daily editions of newspapers with articles on various topics. Using a combination of automatic and manual methods, we segmented the editions into individual articles. In this way, the Gigafida corpus is also better prepared for future upgrades, as newer journalistic texts (e.g., the ones collected for the monitor corpus Trendi) are already being collected in the form of individual articles. A few other improvements have been made, e.g. invalid tags in several files which caused for the texts to be excluded from the corpus when uploaded to the concordances. On the other hand, Gigafida 2.2 does not contain Semantic role labels and Named Entity annotations.
