[Corpora-List] DeepDict lexicography tool

[jasper holmes]

Dear Eckhard,

Thanks for drawing our attention to this resource, which looks very interesting.

Can you tell us where the data is derived from? I mean are you using
existing corpora, or have you made your own collections? If the latter
what was your sampling procedure?

Cheers,

Jasper
