| Abstract | Accentological corpus provides a researcher an opportunity to study word stressand stress variation, which are very important for the Russian language.Moreover, Accentological corpus allows studying the history of the Russianlanguage stress development.The research presents the main characteristics of Accentological corpusavailable at ruscorpora.ru. Corpora size, type and sources of text material,the way it is represented in the corpora, types of linguistic annotation,corpora composition and ways of their effective use according to their purposesare described.There are two zones in the Accentological corpus. 1) The zone of prose includes oral texts and films transcripts, in whichstressed syllables are marked according to the real pronunciation. 2) The zoneof poetry contains texts with marked accented syllables, so it is possible todefine the exact word stress using special rules. The Accentological corpus has four types of annotations (metatextual,morphological, semantic and sociological) and also has its own accentologicalmark-up. Due to accentological annotation each word is supplied with stressmarks, so a user can make queries and retrieve the stressed or unstressed wordforms in combination with grammatical and semantic features. |
