Poetry corpus

The Poetic corpus has been developed since 2006 and includes poetic works, including plays in verse and verse translations. It includes texts created after 1700. It is based on the most complete and authoritative critical editions of culturally significant authors (Biblioteka Poeta or colelcted works); collective anthologies of poetae minores are also represented in the corpus. In addition to the usual semantic and morphological annotation with non-disambiguated homonymy, a special verse annotation is provided while customizing a subcorpus. Thus, it is possible to search for texts written in amphibrachic meter, accentual verse systems, five-line stanzas, free rhyming, formes fixes such as sonnets, etc. From the subcorpus list one may navigate directly to the texts of poems without constructing a query.

Within the text, elements of verse annotation are also introduced: each verse line features information about the meter it is written in, and it is possible to construct a search query among lines written in a particular meter. When visualizing the output, the line-by-line annotation of the meter is viewable. Within the poetry corpus, metric ictuses are marked. Within rhymed texts, words falling within the line-final rhyming zone are marked as well; so it is possible to search for words from this zone only.
