Information

The Educational Hellenic National Corpus is developed and implemented by the Institute for Language and Speech Processing in the framework of Pleiades project, Chrysallides unit (2005-2007). It comprises::

A general corpus
The text-books corpus
The educators' corpus

Specifically:
The general corpus contains more than 34,000,000 words of written texts and is a part of the Hellenic National Corpus developed by the Institute for Language and Speech Processing / R.C. "Athena".
Texts in the HNC represent modern Greek language use and most of them having been written after 1990. In order to include different types of language, texts from several media, belonging to different genres and dealing with various topics have been selected. Texts written in highly idiomatic language have been excluded from the corpus. Most texts have been selected based on their high readability (high circulation newspapers, best-selling books etc.). For more information visit EHNC (http://www.hnc.ilsp.gr/).

The text-books corpus contains 2.250.000 words from the following text-books used in Greek public schools.

2. author
3. publisher
4. translator (in case the text is a translation)
5. date of publication
Classification data:
1. medium
2. genre and detailed genre
3. topic and detailed topic.
4. school grade and subject (only for texts in the text-books corpus)

How can one use EGC?
EGC offers the environment and the tools to:
1. Retrieve authentic examples of use of the Greek language by searching for:

specific word forms: by entering the word «παίζω», all sentences containing this word form are retrieved
lemmata: by entering the lemma «παίζω», all sentences containing every inflected form of the lemma «παίζω», such as «παίζει», «παίξω», «παίζοντας», are retrieved
parts of speech: by entering «noun», all sentences containing a noun are retrieved

2. Study the results of your query in concordances.
3. Look for specific word and lemma frequencies in the EGC corpora.
