The Russian MultiPARC has been expanded and counts almost 300 thousand tokens. It now features Chekhov's play “Three Sisters” staged by four different theaters: Gorky Moscow Art Theater, Maly Theater, Fomenko Workshop, and the Sovremennik Theater.

The Russian MultiPARC provides an opportunity for comparative study of the same phrase uttered by different speakers in the same circumstances. The comparison of different utterances of the same phrase makes it possible to determine which intonational, structural, phonetic, and gesture features of this phrase are obligatory, reproduced by all speakers, and which are unique or accidental.

Materials on the structure of the corpus and its functions can be found here.
