Institute of Czech Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, is pleased to invite you to a lecture by Ekaterina V. Rakhilina, Professor of Faculty of Humanities at National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow.

Ekaterina V. Rakhilina is a linguist with a focus on the lexicography of nouns, semantic models, general semantics, lexical typology, construction Grammar. She is the initiator of the Russian learner corpora building and the error annotation.

The talk gives an insight into the Russian Learner Corpus (RLC) – the first annotated learner corpus of Russian containing data from two sets of speakers – heritage learners and L2 learners. Among the structuring principles that underlie RLC discussed here are data characteristics, metainformation, annotation guidelines and the platform that uniquely integrates text pre-analysis / tagging and search tools. The second part of the talk presents illustrations of various linguistic issues to be approached with the Corpus.
