The KUUS corpus comprises 17 textbooks for Slovenian as a second and foreign language published between 2002 and 2022 at the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language (Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana). These textbooks were widely used in the teaching of Slovenian as a second and foreign language to children, adolescents and adults in Slovenia and abroad at the time of the creation of the corpus. The KUUS consists of 520,796 words. It was linguistically annotated with the CLASSLA v1.1.1 pipeline (https://github.com/clarinsi/classla/) at the levels of tokenization, sentence segmentation, lemmatization, MULTEXT-East v6 MSD-tags (https://nl.ijs.si/ME/V6/msd/html/msd-sl.html), JOS dependency syntax (https://nl.ijs.si/jos/bib/jos-skladnja-navodila.pdf), and named entities (https://nl.ijs.si/janes/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SlovenianNER-eng-v1.1.pdf). The metadata for each of the textbooks includes the information about the title, subtitle, authors, year of publication, publisher, CEFR level, target audience, and the estimated number of lessons for the textbook.
