EHME: A new word database for research in Basque language. (Acha Joana, Laka Itziar, Landa Josu, Salaburu Pello in The Spanish journal of psychology 03/2014)
EHME, an online program that enables students and
researchers in linguistics and psycholinguistics to extract word
stimuli, based on a broad range of statistics concerning the properties
of words in Basque.
This new
program includes a greater number of words than previously released
databases, and includes measures of morphological structure frequency as
well as neighborhood measures (taking into account recent evidence
about transposed, addition and deletion neighbors, Davis et al., 2009)
apart from classical indexes (word frequency, orthographic structure,
orthographic similarity, bigram and biphone frequency, and
syllable-based measures).
The program is designed for use by researchers
in linguistics and psycholinguistics, particularly those concerned with
data related to recognition of isolated words and morphology. It can be
used to undertake large studies in corpus linguistics, to extract words
based on concrete statistical criteria
(http://www.ehu.es/ehg/ehme/datu2hitz.htm), as well as to obtain
statistical characteristics form a list of words
(http://www.ehu.es/ehg/ehme/hitz2datu.htm).
