Om projektet Kelly.

Abstract:
Frequency lists and frequency-based lexical resources contain information about the words and their statistics. They tend to find their "readers" among language learners, language teachers, linguists and lexicographers. Making them available in electronic format helps to expand the target group to cover language engineers, computer programmers and other specialists working in such areas as information retrieval, spam filtering, text readability analysis, test generation etc.

In this presentation we describe a new freely available electronic frequency list of modern Swedish which was created in the EU project KELLY. We provide a short description of the KELLY project; examine the methodological approach and provide some details on the compiling of the web-corpus SweWAC from which the list has been derived. Further, we discuss the type of information the list contains, describe the steps for list generation; provide information on the coverage and some other statistics over the items in the list. Finally, we suggest some potential application areas; and mention future plans. We hope that with some publicity we can help this list find its users.
