In March, the Syntactic сorpus was significantly upgraded. New information and search fields appeared within SynTagRus. Starting from Word 2, one may specify coreference and temporal relation. In the Additional Features field one can now search for elided words, i.e. words that are omitted in a sentence but are present in its syntactic structure.

Searching by microsyntactic annotation allows finding stable expressions of different types. For example, by selecting the constructions vsë ravno 1 (~'all the same'), vsë ravno 2 and vsë ravno 3, the user can see the specific semantic features of this polysemous idiom ('in any way', 'indifferently' and 'equivalently', respectively) and the specific features of its usage (for example, vsë ravno 2 and 3 act as predicate, while vsë ravno 1 does not).

Sorting the search results by text date, author's date of birth, annotation date and random sorting is now available. By default, the results are sorted by the annotation date of the texts.

Hints appeared in the menus of syntactic relations, lexical functions and morphological features. Clicking on the (?) button in the neighboring window will open the corresponding description in the User's Guide.
