O knihe

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg, language: English, abstract: In this paper I will give you a brief overview of Sketch Engine's core functions, tell you details about its development, the people who originally had the idea to create it and about the free corpus-based web tool "SkeLL".

Sketch Engine is a software for text analysis, database management and corpus management for over 90 languages developed by Lexical Computing Limited and released in 2003. It is a great tool for linguists, lexicographers, translators, students, and teachers to understand how language works. By using Sketch Engine you are able to instantly identify the characteristics of the language, what is rare or unusual and what is increasingly used. This is possible due to its algorithms which can analyse authentical texts with billions of words. The software's functions enable users to precisely search and filter queries in language corpora and said functions are based on mathematical and statistical computations.
