ECIMCI_profiles: ECI/MCI \(N\)-Gram Profiles

Description

\(N\)-gram profile db for 26 languages based on the European Corpus Initiative Multilingual Corpus I.

Usage

ECIMCI_profiles

Details

This profile db was built by Johannes Rauch, using the ECI/MCI corpus (http://www.elsnet.org/eci.html) and the default options employed by package textcat, with all text documents encoded in UTF-8.

The category ids used for the db are the respective IETF language tags (see language in package NLP), using the ISO 639-2 Part B language subtags and, for Serbian, the script employed (i.e., "scc-Cyrl" and "scc-Latn" for Serbian written in Cyrillic and Latin script, respectively; all other languages in the profile db are written in Latin script.)
