[Corpora-List] Turkish lexical database

Wed Mar 23 12:02:08 UTC 2005

Dear Sir/Madam, 

In search for a Turkish lexical database I came to the address of LDC,
who directed me to your address (see the e-mail below). For my research
on school language development of Turkish immigrant children in The
Netherlands I want to create tasks with Turkish words and non-words, to
test the phonological working memory of the children. To create these
tasks, I need information about word and phoneme frequencies in the
Turkish language. For the Dutch language we make use of CELEX, but for
the Turkish language I have no idea whether such databases exist, or any
frequencielists whatsoever.

I am looking for: 
a large reliable lexical database, similar to celex. 
including: a list of Turkish word lemmata, their lengt, and their log
frequency per million. 
In the format: 
10\kerkganger 0.3010
12\kerkgangster 0.0000
10\kerkgebouw 0.3010
15\kerkgenootschap 0.9031 

Do you maybe have access to such a database, or knowledge about its
existence? Or any frequencylists in Turkish? 

Thank you very much in advance, 
Kind regards,

Hi Marielle,

Thank you for contacting the LDC.  Unfortunately, we do not distribute
such a database.  You may want to try posting your question to the
corpora list:
