AdjDeriNet: Words Derived from Adjectives in Czech

Publication

Abstract

The lexical resource contains nearly 18 thousand adjective lexemes, which are base words for about 26 thousand lexemes of several parts of speech; the database thus consists of 44 thousand derivationally interlinked lexemes in total. The most frequent derivatives are adverbs with the suffix -e/ě, nouns with the suffix -ost and adverbs ending in -sky/-cky.

Nouns ending in -as (ex. kliďas ‘phlegmatic person’), verbs with -at (zelenat ‘to turn green’), or adjectives with the suffix -ičký (maličký ‘very small’) belong to the least frequent deadjectival derivatives in the database.
