Gunstick :: VRG

In the Database of Czech Rhymes, we provide results of automatic analysis of rhyme matches in the poetry collections incorporated in the Corpus of Czech Verse and published up to 1920 (the database contains more than one million rhyme pairs). The results have been subject to manual check, which took into account various contexts (collections, poems, period debates,...). The database contains both standard rhymes, and several instances of close-to-perfect fits.
