GramatiKat (version 2) : A tool for grammatical categories research and grammatical profiles

Publication

Abstract

GramatiKat is a corpus tool providing data for research into grammatical categories, whether from a grammatical, lexicological, or lexicographical perspective. It can also be used in teaching Czech, especially Czech as a foreign language.

One of its main functions is to track the distribution of word forms within a specific grammatical category, either across an entire part of speech or for a specific lemma in comparison with the entire class of words. Interactive tables allow, among other things, the search for lemmas in whose paradigm a particular form occurs unusually often, or conversely, does not occur at all.

In the current (second) version of the application, data are available on Czech nouns, adjectives, and verbs, and within them, on the grammatical categories expressed by these parts of speech.
