The Polish Parliamentary Corpus / Korpus Dyskursu Parlamentarnego

The Polish Parliamentary Corpus (PPC) is a large collection of linguistically analysed documents from the proceedings of the Polish Parliament, Sejm and Senate. It is based on the Polish Sejm Corpus co-funded by project CESAR and is currently being updated by CLARIN-PL infrastructure.

The current size of the corpus amounts to over 700M segments. Apart from the stenographic records of plenary sittings and committee sittings, the corpus also contains interpellations and questions.
