Introduction

The DIALOG corpus is a special multimedia corpus of spoken Czech. It is a collection of public dialogues – recordings and transcripts of discussion programs broadcast on Czech TV stations. It serves research on communication in the media and research on spoken Czech in its present public form.

Those using the DIALOG corpus can work with transcripts as well as recordings. A search tool makes it possible to play video recordings that match specific passages.

The DIALOG corpus is compiled and managed on the premises of the Czech Language Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in cooperation with the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics at the Charles University Faculty of Mathematics and Physics.
