Following our most recent round of updates, users can now use the tool to:
- obtain text coverage information using lists of the 1,000, 2,000,
3,000, 4,000, and 5,000 most frequent word families in French, German and
Spanish
- deselect grammar features (e.g., tenses, case forms) to reflect
learners’ grammatical knowledge in the profile
- add words and word families to embedded word lists using the 'add to
list' function
- profile texts with a POS-annotated custom list (using TreeTagger tags)
- download statistical information about the words, word families and
multiword units in your text(s), including flemma-based frequency lists,
multi-level frequency-band profiles, and type/token ratios
- edit texts directly in the profiling window and copy the results into
another program
- explore the 5,000 most frequent word families in each language using
the ‘Word Families’ tab
- profile texts using word lists aligned with National Centre for
Excellence for Language Pedagogy (NCELP) schemes of work up to the end of
Term 2 of Year 9 (teachers following the syllabi can use the tool to
ascertain which words in a text have been taught at any given point in the
school year).
