[Corpora-List] Electronic thesauri for Slavic languages

[Adam Kilgarriff]

And if distributional thesauruses are good for you, we have one for Slovene
based on a 620m-word corpus so probably high-accuracy, with Russian and
Czech to follow shortly. (Try Vladimir Benko for Slovak.)
All generated as a standard part of the corpus-compilation process for the
Sketch Engine, and accessible at the SkE interface or by web API from
http://www.sketchengine.co.uk
