The Balanced Corpus of Modern Latvian

LVK2018 is the representative 10 million word corpus of contemporary Latvian. LVK2018 is an extended version of LVK2013 based on slightly modified corpus design criteria that were also applied for the previous corpora from the LVK series. LVK2018 is designed as a general language, representative and balanced corpus that aims to cover the variety of existing texts in certain estimated proportions. The corpus consists of five different sections: journalism (60%), fiction (20%), scientific (10%), legal (8%), parliamentary transcripts (2%).
