lexical computing
We provide large high-quality word databases, lexical data, word lists and
lexicons in many languages. Our data are generated from large databases of
authentic text called text corpora. The largest corpora contain texts with a
total length of 60,000,000,000 words. Such data allow us to generate databases
of millions or even hundreds of millions of items while preserving accuracy and
reliability. Our customers are software developers, dictionary and language
teaching material publishers and anyone who needs reliable language data. The
databases we supply can be enriched with related linguistic data such as
synonyms, collocations, example sentences and morphological and statistical
information. We also provide solutions in the area of full-text search,
terminology extraction, document classification and categorization, data mining
and information retrieval. Data samples Word frequency lists: English, Spanish,

Kilgarriff in 2003. It works at the intersection of corpus and computational

management and corpus query tool used by linguists, lexicographers, translators
and publishers worldwide. Its unique feature – the Word Sketch – and its derived
