Czech CLARIN Knowledge Centre for Corpus Linguistics is based at the Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, Prague. The Czech National Corpus (CNC) is an academic project founded in 1994 with the main aim to continuously map the Czech language by building and annotating a variety of large general-purpose corpora. Since 2012, CNC has been funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports within the framework of the Large Research Infrastructures programme. CNC is an associated member of the CLARIN-CZ consortium that is led by LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ.

Apart from the language mapping, CNC also develops specialized web-based applications to provide a user-friendly access to the corpora and offers wide-ranging user support. The central access point to all the corpora and web applications is the CNC research portal. In addition to this service-oriented line of work, CNC is also a research centre that promotes an empirical approach to language and runs a PhD programme in Corpus Linguistics.
