Russian National Corpus 2.0: New opportunities and development prospects

Abstract

The paper provides an overview of the results of the fundamental reconstruction and modernization project of the National Corpus of the Russian Language platform, carried out from 2020 to 2023. The focus of the paper is on the new opportunities that are opening up for linguists and a wider audience. This includes improving the representativeness of existing corpora, creating new corpora, new annotation obtained through the application of neural network models, and new interface solutions. Three notable new components are examined in more detail: a resource-related one, which is the new Social Networks corpus, a search-related one, which is the Panchronic corpus that combines searches across corpora from different periods, and an analytical one, which is the functional complex of statistics and data visualization.
