Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with selected projects based on the Slovak National Corpus (SNK), a large, representative corpus of modern written Slovak (since the 1953 orthography reform). Currently the corpus consists of over 770 million words and is gradually being expanded. The SNK embraces a number of subcorpora representing various types of specialized discourse: fiction, professional texts, informational texts as well as a balanced subcorpus. The texts included in the SNK are automatically morphologically annotated, and it is possible to extract detailed meta-information. The corpus is accessible for all non-commercial users and is equipped with a search engine enabling queries concerning morphological and syntactic features, collocations, as well as statistical analysis. Other corpora connected with the SNK project include: the 1.2-million manually morphologically annotated corpus, the Corpus of Spoken Slovak (containing about 1.65 million tokens) and a treebank of 50,000 sentences. The Slovak Terminology Database and the Slovak WordNet are also being developed within the project.
