InterCorp “The parallel corpus InterCorp is a part of the project Czech National Corpus, funded by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic within the programme Projects of major infrastructures for research, development and innovation (2012-2015). In 2005-2011 the project was supported from the same source as a research programme The Czech National Corpus and corpora of other languages.” (Intercorp 2013) This academic project is made for linguistic purposes. InterCorp is a parallel synchronous corpus and it covers all languages that are offered for students at the Faculty of Art, Charles University. It is not commercial. It is used by scholars, students, translators and the public because it is available online (Intercorp 2013) 4 . InterCorp is not static. It gets bigger with every new version of it. It mostly consists of fiction that creates its core and also collections, i.e. political commentaries, legal texts, 1 English version is available on: http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz/english/index.php 2 Available on: http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz/kolektiv.php 3 Available on: http://ucnk.ff.cuni.cz/spoluprace.php 4 Available on: http://www.korpus.cz/intercorp/?req=page:info Philosophical Faculty, Palacký University Olomouc 35 etc. Czech is the pivot language because all texts have their Czech versions that are either original or translated.
