Introducing the Reference Corpus of Contemporary Portuguese Online

Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)

Abstract

We present our work in processing the Reference Corpus of Contemporary Portuguese and its publication online. After discussing how the corpus was built and our choice of meta-data, we turn to the processes and tools involved for the cleaning, preparation and annotation to make the corpus suitable for linguistic inquiries. The Web platform is described, and we show examples of linguistic resources that can be extracted from the platform for use in linguistic studies or in NLP.
