RNC News

We continue to roll out new functionality already available in the advanced corpora, such as Main, Media, and Learning, to other corpora. An improved version of the “From 2 to 15” corpus is now available to users of the RNC. All the texts within the corpus feature resolved grammatical homonymy and syntactic annotation. Syntactic relations search and collocation search are now available, as well as new output types such as frequency, n-grams, statistics.

The Word at a Glance function has been updated, and new types of sorting by context have been added.
In the Word at a Glance you can see that the words мама 'mom' and папа 'dad' are used much more often in texts for the children of 7-8 years old, and the words бабушка 'grandma' and дедушка 'grandpa' has an equal frequency rating for both the children of 7-8 years and for teenagers of 14-15 years.

The bar next to the fragment indicating the age of readers who should understand these fragments is now clickable. When you click, you will see the calculated classical readability indices: Flesch-Kincaid Index, Coleman-Liau Index, Automatic Readability Index, Simple Measure of Gobbledygook, Dale-Chull readability formula.
