Martti Rapola’s 19th century vocabulary

Martti Rapola (1891–1972), a distinguished researcher of Old Literary Finnish and Finnish Dialects, compiled extensive material on 19th-century Literary Finnish, which he organized according to its significance. From these pickings made in the 1930s and 1950s, Rapola’s 19th-century vocabulary was created, comprising a total of 44,000 headwords. Rapola made use of this material in many articles published in the 1940s and 1950s and in a selection published in 1960, named ’Sanojemme ensiesiintymiä Agricolasta Yrjö-Koskiseen’, which, as the name implies, contains a vocabulary established in Literary Finnish.

The material published online is based on the original headwords, which have been selectively submitted as a database. It contains information about a total of 5600 words, divided into 1070 concepts. This is about a quarter of the original data.

The N-grams of the Newspaper and Periodical Corpus of the National Library of Finland


Currently available versions of this resource

ShortnameName and metadataLicenseLocationCiteResource group and helpApplyPublication yearSupport level
ShortnameName and metadataLicenseLocationCiteResource group and helpApplyPublication yearSupport level

Resource information

The National Library of Finland has digitized a large proportion of Finland’s Finnish and Swedish newspapers, magazines, and periodicals published between 1820 and 2000 (Finnish) and between 1770 and 1940 (Swedish). This resource contains sets of unigrams, bigrams and trigrams extracted from a corpus that has been compiled from the digitized newspapers by the University of Helsinki.

The resource consists of plain UTF-8 encoded text files, each containing a list of n-grams that have been ordered by their frequencies from highest to lowest. Each line in a file consists of two or more fields separated by a whitespace character. The first field indicates the absolute frequency of a unique n-gram, and the remaining fields contain the tokens (strings of non-whitespace characters) of the n-gram itself. Uppercase letters have been retained as such and have not been converted into lowercase letters. Punctuation characters are treated as separate tokens except when they are part of an abbreviation (”etc.”, ”mm.”) or when they separate a case ending or an enclitic from an abbreviation or a sign (”EU:ssa”, ”%:iin”), as per the typographic principles of standard Finnish. The n-grams have been computed across sentence boundaries for each decade (from the 1770s to the 1940s and from the 1820s to the 2000s respectively) as well as for the entire corpus, with unigrams, bigrams and trigrams in separate files.

Important notes

Since the source material has been digitized by the means of optical character recognition (OCR), the resource also contains erroneous word forms and non-word strings of characters. Furthermore, due to the large time span of the original corpus, the resource contains several lexical items and spelling variants that have since become obsolete in standard Finnish and standard Swedish.

The resource will be updated in the future as improvements are being made to the source material.

The data is derived from The Newspaper and Periodical Corpus of the National Library of Finland
