The interface for querying Lexique online is presented as a dynamic data table. You can place filters above each column. There are three types of columns: numeric (e.g., freqlivres or nbphons), categorical (cgram), and string (ortho, phon, …).
Filtering in string-type columns is done using a regular expression. Entering ‘house’ will return all items containing the string “house” (to obtain only the entry associated with the word house, you must enter “^house$”); entering ‘car|house’ will return items containing car or house. See our documentation on regular expressions for examples of more complex searches.
Filtering in a numeric column is done by providing an interval MIN ... MAX. For example, to select words with a length between 5 and 10, enter 5...10. To select words with an exact length of 5, enter 5...5 (unfortunately, at the moment, we cannot change this easily).
Filtering in a categorical column is done simply by entering the desired label or list of labels.
The small triangles next to each variable name allow you to sort by its value.
Note: to perform searches in the phon field, consult the phoneme coding table.
