The Internet Language Guide

The Internet Language Guide (IJP) was created with financial support from the project Language Consulting on the Internet, project ID: 1ET200610406. The IJP was developed by Czech Language Institute staff members Anna Černá, Jan Chromý, Hana Konečná, Hana Mžourková, Markéta Pravdová, Martin Prošek, Kamila Smejkalová, Ivana Svobodová and Ludmila Uhlířová.
In 2013-2015, the IJP team was financially supported through the LINDAT-CLARIN project Institute for Analysis, Processing and Distribution of Linguistic Data, project ID: LM2010013. The team members were Martin Beneš, Anna Černá, Ondřej Dufek, Klára Dvořáková, Jakub Kopecký, Adam Kříž, Petr Lozan, Markéta Pravdová, Hana Prokšová, Martin Prošek, Kamila Smejkalová, Ivana Svobodová and Veronika Štěpánová.

In 2016-2019, the IJP team was financially supported through the LINDAT/CLARIN project Language Research Infrastructure in the Czech Republic, project ID: LM2015071. The team members were Barbora Martinkovičová, Markéta Pravdová and Ivana Svobodová.
Since 2019, IJP data have been used in the project Web-based spelling, grammar and typographical corrector for the Czech language, project ID: TL02000146. The project was funded by the Technologická agentura České republiky (Technology Agency of the Czech Republic).

Since 2020, the IJP team has been financially supported through the LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ project Digital Research Infrastructure for Language Technology, Arts and Humanities, project ID: LM2018101. The team members are Barbora Martinkovičová, Markéta Pravdová and Anna Vrbová.

The IJP has been operated since its launch by the staff of the Natural Language Processing Centre of the Faculty of Informatics of Masaryk University (Dana Hlaváčková, Karel Pala and Pavel Šmerk). It is the first language reference of its kind. The manual has two sections: a wordlist and a reference section. If you have any comments or suggestions to either section, please send them to poradna at ujc.cas.cz.
The reference section of the IJP was significantly expanded during preparations for the printed edition. The first printed edition, endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, was published in February 2014 as the Akademická příručka českého jazyka (Academic Handbook of the Czech Language) (Academia). It was awarded the Academia Bestselling Book of 2014 prize and the Czech Bestseller Award 2014, taking first place in the category Professional and Popularisation Literature for Adults. In May 2019, Academia published the second, revised and updated edition of the Academic Handbook of the Czech Language, again with the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
