SweLLex is a lexicon of productive vocabulary for Swedish as a second language
SweLLex is a lexicon of productive vocabulary for Swedish as a second/foreign language (SVA). Like its sister resource, SVALex, it reports the normalized frequencies of words (lemmas) across six levels of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). In the same fashion as SVALex, it contains information on both single word usage, multi-word expressions, as well as information on their usage at different levels, something that is rarely present in the resources of this kind.
The frequencies have been estimated on a corpus of essays written by SVA learners, SweLL-pilot corpus, described in the article:
