HNC (Hellenic National Corpus)

This is a corpus of written Modern Greek texts, available over the Internet, for research use only. It currently contains about 20,000,000 words of written texts from several media (books, periodicals, newspapers etc.), which belong to different genres (articles, essays, literary works, reports, biographies etc.) and various topics (economy, medicine, leisure, art, human sciences etc.). The HNC users can make the following queries concerning the lexicon, morphology, syntax and usage of Modern Greek: (1) specific words (e.g. child), (2) lemmas (e.g. child as a lemma produces every inflected type of the word), (3) parts of speech and (4) up to three combinations of all the above, in which users can specify the distance among lexical items (e.g. word + word, lemma + word, lemma + word + word, lemma + part of speech). Users can define their own sub-corpus within the HNC. This sub-corpus may cover one or more media, genres and/or topics and may also be saved for further reference by the users. Query results are presented as whole sentences, within which the query objects are highlighted. Alternatively, concordances of query results are presented, where the query object is centred on the page. Finally, HNC users can make queries concerning word, lemma and/or parts of speech frequencies within the HNC texts. Statistical information about the 100 and 1,000 most frequent words and lemmata in these texts is also available.
