CNC-UA was built from a database dump provided to us by Suspilne. Linguistic annotations were added by processing the texts with the Stanza NLP library. Each text is annotated with an identifier, article title as well as date and time of publication. Currently, we apply various language modelling techniques to the corpus, including topic models, for analysis of the data.
The motivation for building the corpus was to track language use in news reporting as the Russian war against Ukraine proceeded.
The corpus contains 87,210,364 words in 292,955 texts. The sources represent standard language and were published between 2019 and 2022 on https://suspilne.media, the news website of the national public broadcaster of Ukraine.
