Uppsala Corpus

The Uppsala Corpus of modern Russian texts was developed at the Department of Slavic Studies at Uppsala University, Sweden, under the direction of Lennart Lönngren, from whom we obtained the permission to use the Uppsala corpus for the SFB 441 project B01. All rights regarding the Uppsala corpus belong to the author. Corpus data may be used for research purposes only; commercial use of the corpus is prohibited. This corpus (Upsal'skij korpus russkix tekstov) consists of some 600 Russian texts with a total of one million running words (word tokens), equally divided between informative and literary prose. The informative texts are from between 1985 and 1989, while the literary texts, whose vocabulary does not date as quickly, cover a longer period, 1960-88. The corpus does not include poetry or drama.
