From: The Centre for Lexical Information <CELEX@MPI.NL>
Subject: CELEX lexical CD-ROM -- updated information
Detailed information concerning the English, German and Dutch lexical
databases on the CELEX CD-ROM can now be obtained by anonymous ftp from
the Linguistic Data Consortium as follows:
connect to: ftp.cis.upenn.edu
go to directory: pub/ldc
set transfer mode: binary
get file: celex.readme (information about the CELEX CD)
celex.intro.ps.Z (linguistic introduction)
celex.userguide.tar.Z (the complete User Guide)
The readme file is uncompressed and in ASCII-format. The other two, which
correspond to sections of the hardcopy CELEX User Guide written by Gavin
Burnage and which are subject to CELEX copyright, can be decompressed and
output to a postscript-capable printer. The content of this document
should provide answers to most questions regarding the content and use of
CELEX.
Persons outside of Europe who are interested in CELEX, but are unable
to retrieve and print the introductory text themselves, may request a
hard copy of the document from the LDC.
Persons in Europe who want a hard copy of the document mailed to
them, and anyone who still has technical questions after reading the
document, should direct their inquiries to:
