Title On Rapid Annotation of Czech Headwords – Analysing the First Tasks of Czech Dictionary Express
Abstract Czech Dictionary Express has been introduced as a project of a semi-automatically made dictionary of the Czech language. (Kovařík, 2023) The Dictionary Express method (formerly known as rapid dictionaries) has been used for several different languages (Baisa et al., 2019; Blahuš et al., 2023). In this paper, we analyse the automatic and manual tools used in Czech Dictionary Express and inspect the statistical and qualitative data such tools provide. As the first task of the project – the headword annotation – comes to an end, we examine some opportunities and difficulties of the method used, as well as the data acquired in the process.
