Computational Data Analysis For Syntax

The aim of this paper is to present the methodology and results of a detailed analysis of syntactic structures in Czech, performed with the aid of computer. This work is a part of a large and long-term project, known as Quantitative analysis of present-day standard Czech, which is carried out in the Department of mathematical linguistics at the Czech language Institute under the leadership of M. T~itelova ~1 ~, [2]. Some hitherto achieved results have already been published in special monographs /e.g. the frequency dictionaries of publicist and administrative styles [31, t4], a volume of quantitative characteristics of publicist style [5]these prints were issued by the Czech language Institute, Prague/ or as articles and papers e.g. in PBML 31 and 32 [6] and PSML 7 and 8 tT]; other articles are to be published within a short time /as e.g. the frequency dictionary of scientific Czech/ or they have been already prepared for publication.
