UPDATED VERSIONS OF OVI CORPUS (APRIL 2024)

11-05-2024

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. 35 new texts hitherto absent have been inserted (see list here). 

The new version of the TLIO Corpus that today is published online includes 3,245 texts (with an increase of 35 units compared to the September 18, 2023 version), for a total of 24,012,722 occurrences (with an increment of 198,173 occurrences), 496,445 distinct graphic forms, 126,575 lemmas, and 4,708,027 lemmatized occurrences (with an increment of 85,700 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 3,512 texts (with an increase of 35 units - the same texts inserted in the TLIO Corpus- compared to the October 18, 2023 version; see list here), for a total of 30,443,280 occurrences (with an increment of 198,173 occurrences), and 555,757 distinct graphic forms.
