SUMMARY lexical database for contemporary french on internet : LEXIQUE

We present a new lexical database of French, named Lexique. Based on a corpus of texts written since 1950 which contained 31 million words, Lexique yields 130 000 entries including the inflected forms of verbs, nouns and adjectives. Each entry provides several kinds of information including frequency, gender, number, phonological form, graphemic and phonemic unicily points. Several tables give additional statistics such as the frequencies of various units : letters, bigrams, Irigrams, phonemes and syllables. The database is available for free on the Internet.

Keywords : word recognition, database, frequencies.
