The Polish Parliamentary Corpus / Korpus Dyskursu Parlamentarnego

The Polish Parliamentary Corpus (PPC) is a large collection of linguistically analysed documents from the proceedings of Polish Parliament, Sejm and Senate. It is based on the Polish Sejm Corpus co-funded by project CESAR and is currently being updated by CLARIN-PL infrastructure.

Corpus format

Corpus files are made available in TEI P5 format compatible with the annotation used by the National Corpus of Polish. The resource contains automatically created annotation of:

  • utterance-level segmentation,
  • tokenization,
  • lemmatization,
  • disambiguated morphosyntactic description,
  • named entities.

Corpus data

The current size of the corpus amounts to 749M segments with detailed distribution over houses, periods, and document types presented below. Apart from the stenographic records of plenary sittings (261M segments) and committee sittings (288M segments), the corpus contains 199M segments of interpellations and questions.
