Abstract:

The article describes the current state of work on the Corpus of Church Slavonic within the Russian National Corpus. The Corpus is different from the collection of texts by the presence of a special markup (grammatical, structural, metatextual) and the possibility to search by this markup. The article considers the content, describes the main genre headings, according to which the texts included in the Corpus are distributed, describes the principles of the metamarkup that differ from those used in other Corpuses within the Russian National Corpus. Where necessary, the historical information, on the basis of which a certain decision was made, is provided. Since typing search queries on the keyboard presents certain difficulties for Church Slavonic texts, we offer several options for simplified spelling transmission, which enable a person to enter a query with limited capabilities of a standard keyboard. Finally, the article describes the frequency grammar vocabulary created during the work on the project.
