Abstract
The Mapka application is a supplement to the corpora of spoken Czech. Its main function is to display the regions represented in the DIALEKT corpus using an interactive map of the Czech Republic.
The background map can display various types of regional divisions, dialectal and administrative, and municipality networks that have certain connections to the DIALEKT corpus. The map includes overviews of typical dialectal features pertaining to the 3 regions (Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia) and 8 basic dialectal regions.
Each dialectal region is provided with two samples featuring authentic discourses in the dialects of the speakers from the DIALEKT corpus, including an audio recording of the given segment. The application includes the option of searching for municipalities in the Czech Republic and including them in the system for the division of dialectal regions.
Users can proceed to add these points to the map and in doing so create their own map.
