SUBTLEXus Corpus

The SUBTLEXus corpus is a subtitle corpus for American English. It contains 51 million words from subtitles of 8,388 films and sitcoms.

Subtitles have been collected from :
- 2046 USA films from 1900-1990,
- 3218 USA films from 1990-2007,
- 4575 USA television series.

This corpus was built in order to create an improved frequency norm for American Word frequencies. This new word frequency measure is called the SUBTL Frequency Norm. This norm is mostly used for psycholinguistic studies.

The same methodology have been used to build the Dutch SUBTLEX-NL (see U-W0369 in the Universal Catalogue for a full description) and the Chinese SUBTLEX-CH (U-W0370).
