New preprint: We present a new #dataset on the #German #language: DeReKoGram includes uni-, bi-, and trigram frequencies, lemma and POS information for a corpus of around 43 billion tokens.

We evaluate the distribution over the 16 datasets and present a (small) case study on #vocabulary growth.

At owid.de/plus/derekogram, we provide #Python, #Rstats and #Stata code that should help you getting started with the dataset.

Preprint available at doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-31396.
