Abstract: | The LEXIN database offers psycholinguistic indexes of the 13,184 different words (types) computed from 178,839 occurrences
of these words (tokens) contained in a corpus of 134 beginning readers widely used in Spain. This database provides four statistical
indicators: F (overall word frequency), D (index of dispersion across selected readers), U (estimated frequency per million words), and SFI (standard frequency index). It also gives information about the number of letters, syntactic category, and syllabic structure
of the words included. To facilitate comparisons, LEXIN provides data from LEXESP’s (Sebastián-Gallés, Martí, Cuetos, & Carreiras,
2000), Alameda and Cuetos’s (1995), and Martínez and García’s (2004) Spanish adult psycholinguistic frequency databases. Access
to the LEXIN database is facilitated by a computer program. The LEXIN program allows for the creation of word lists by letting
the user specify searching criteria. LEXIN can be useful for researchers in cognitive psychology, particularly in the areas
of psycholinguistics and education. |
