Introduction
Database of Word Level Statistics - Mandarin was developed by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It provides lexical characteristics of a descriptive and statistical nature for words and nonwords of Mandarin Chinese. It is designed for researchers particularly concerned with language processing of isolated words. Invariant characteristics include each item's lexicality, sampa, pinyin, IPA transcription, lexical tone, syllable structure, syllable length, pinyin length, segment length, dominant PoS, lexical frequency of the dominant PoS, percent of that dominant PoS, and other PoSes associated with the given item.
Data
The corpus is presented in a series of UTF-8 encoded tab separated plain text files. The original frequency counts were adapted from the word list in Subtlex-CH. Monosyllables from the Subtlex-CH character list that were not present as monosyllabic words were added to the list in order to provide statistical information for all Mandarin syllables.
