In April, the Old East Slavic corpus was considerably upgraded. It now features new types of search results, such as Frequency, Statistics, and n-grams. Using the Frequency feature users can build frequency lists of tokens and constructions. For example, one can check which nouns are coordinated most often in the corpus of the Early Medieval texts (‘Boris and Gleb’, ‘fear and trembling’ and others). The query results can be sorted by context. Frequency dictionaries are available while customizing subcorpus, and they can be compared to the lexical frequencies of the whole corpus.

The arrival of new functionality expands the possibilities of using the corpus and automates routine processes that previously took considerable time.
