'Giovanni Nencioni'
The frequency lexicon files are available for free download; the corpus (limited to the authorized portion) is available at: www.ge.ilc.cnr.it/strumenti.php.
The work has been produced with funding of CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche)1, for quite a long time an invaluable support to scientific research in Italy. With the help of willing users, this product will hopefully be enriched with further facilities.
All files may be downloaded in three different formats:
.txt (text only),
.mdb (Microsoft Access)
.dbf (Filemaker or DBase)..txt files may be converted by means of any data base program. As to .mdb files, the most efficient way to access them is by using Microsoft Access 97 or later versions (Microsoft Excel cannot cope with so large files; it might cause loss of data).
CoLFIS presentation and the introduction to file browsing in the .txt, .mdb, .dbf format, have been made by Pasquale Rinaldi and Cristina Burani (Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie della Cognizione, CNR, Roma).
The examples of Access queries have been made by Pasquale Rinaldi (Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie della Cognizione, CNR, Roma), the examples of Filemaker queries have been made by Maddalena Agonigi (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa).
