| Abstract |
The paper reports on the development of the Hungarian National Corpus, which was completed at the end of 2001 after four years' effort. The HNC is designed to be a balanced reference corpus of current written Hungarian consisting of 150 million words. The paper first discusses basic design issues concerning the composition of the corpus. The HNC adopts a fairly pragmatic approach, focusing on five major text types. The second half of the paper contains details of the annotation and tagging system used. |
