Oxford Dictionaries LexiStats

LexiStats is new way to look at language. Our main Oxford Dictionaries API gives you the words themselves; the LexiStats API gives you information about a word and its context: how often it is used, how often its variations are used, and the words it is used with.

We use our New Monitor Corpus – which tracks new words and senses as they come into use – to provide the most flexible, up-to-date statistics engine currently available to help you develop your Natural Language Processing programme, create your own language models, or enhance the materials you already own.

Our current endpoints include Single Word Frequency ('how often does happy occur in current English?'); Frequency lists ('what is the frequency of happy, happier, and happiest?’); and n-gram lists ('which word is likely to follow or precede happy? How about the second word to follow it, or the third?').

Each endpoint can be customized with various parameters to ensure you get the data you are looking for, and regular updates ensure that ours is the most up-to-date data available. Find out more about LexiStats and view sample documentation here.
