[Corpora-List] Spanish reference corpus

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Mario,

Yes, the frequencies etc are available for this corpus via the Sketch
Engine, a corpus query tool which allows the user to specify and collect
frequency lists to a wide range of specifications (as well as offering a
range of other functions including concordancing, 'word sketches' and a
distributional thesaurus).  

We have taken the URL list as supplied by Serge Sharoff, re-collected the
corpus (or, at least, a 95% similar corpus) and installed it into the Sketch
Engine.  Self-registration for trial account at
http://www.sketchengine.co.uk 

Enjoy!

Adam

Thank you very much for helping me, but I think it is more 
convenient for me if the frequencies of the words of this open 
domain / general corpus could be obtained. Does anybody know if 
such an information is available some way? Best,

Mario
