UPDATED VERSIONS OF OVI CORPUS

01-10-2023

Updated versions of the OVI Corpus, the TLIO Corpus, and the OVI Corpus of Early Italian have been released: they are aligned with the structure developed in the RENOVO Project (Regenerating the OVI Corpus: Ren​ewal and Optimization of Methods, Contents and Tools  - PRIN 2017), aimed at the philological and textual renewal of the two corpora in continuity with CoVo Project (The corpus of the Italian vocabulary of the origins: philological update and interoperability - PRIN 2015). See the  criteria for updating.
TLIO ​Corpus

It is a lemmatized corpus, and includes the texts of reference for the TLIO. 156 new texts hitherto absent have been inserted, but 2 texts were already in the OVI Corpus (see list here). 

The new version of the TLIO Corpus that today is published online includes 3,210 texts (with an increase of 37 units compared to the October 2, 2022 version), for a total of 23,814,549 occurrences (with an increment of 128,915 occurrences), 494,385 distinct graphic forms, 126,208 lemmas, and 4,622,327 lemmatized occurrences (with an increment of 96,236 occurrences).

OVI ​Corpus

It is a non-lemmatized corpus (but searchable with the “lemmi muti” GATTOWeb function), which includes the TLIO Corpus and extends it to include all the published texts dating before the end of the XIV Century: it is the corpus that aims to allow the interrogation of the entire textual heritage of early Italian. 

The new version of the OVI Corpus that today is published online includes 3,447 texts (with an increase of 35 units - the same texts inserted in the TLIO Corpus- compared to the October 2, 2022 version; see list here), for a total of 30,245,108 occurrences (with an increment of 68,480 occurrences), and 553,868 distinct graphic forms.
