Word database/corpus
The corpus is compiled from a large collection of Norwegian subtitles for film and TV, and was used to calculate the word frequencies and properties. This has the advantage of making the data more relevant for spoken language. The Oslo-Bergen tagger has been used for grammatical class classification of the subtitles corpus.
