RNC News

As a reminder, two weeks ago we updated the Educational corpus and added the state-of-the-art tools to the corpus.

We had so many updates that they didn't fit in the announcements of the previous release, so we keep you in touch about the updates.

Meet the updated RNC School page. Here you will find useful information on how to use the Russian National Corpus at Russian and Literature school lessons and for independent work at school and at home. 

We have updated the section with materials for teachers, as well as a collection of exercises, including complex ("olympiad") assignments.

The Word at a Glance service within the Educational Corpus has been supplemented with the Morphemic structure widget. In other RNC corpora, morphemic structuring is based on a morphemic analysis dictionary specially developed for the corpus. Such structuring is intended for researchers and may not coincide with those accepted at school.

A special version of the widget is implemented in the Educational Corpus. Here the morphemic structure of a word is determined in accordance with the practice of morphemic analysis at secondary school and is based on Alexander Tikhonov's Morpheme Orthographic Dictionary (2002) that contains about 100 thousand lexemes. For words not included in the dictionary, the morphemic structure is not determined. For more details on the morphemic annotation within the RNC, see description.
