Resource information

This material comprises a dataset and a query tool for acquiring commonly used psycholinguistic descriptives for Finnish words. The dataset is based on six large corpora from sources such as magazines, newspapers, movie and tv-series subtitles, encyclopedia topics and Internet discussions.
The material includes word surface form frequencies, lemma frequencies, syllable frequencies and letter n-gram frequencies. In addition the query tool can be used to acquire descriptives such as orthographic neighbors for lists of words.
