[comp.sources.wanted] Spanish dictionary/corpus inquiry

trittin@udel.edu (Pamela Trittin) (06/13/90)

Is there anyone out there who can give me some leads to find two types of
Spanish dictionaries?  I am a graduate students at the University of 
Delaware doing research in speech synthesis for the Spanish language and
am looking for the following:

(1)  A Spanish dictionary (one with Spanish lexemes with Spanish 
     definitions -- not a bilingual dictionary) that includes the phonemic
     representation of the lexemes.  The everpopular University of
     Chicago has the phonemic translation of each word based on the IPA
     standard, but I am looking for a monolingual Spanish dictionary.

(2)  An off-line Spanish dictionary in either ASCII or EBCDIC in order to 
     test my program.

A third inquiry has to do with a Spanish corpus, a large text file which
consists of a collection of works that reflect the most frequently used
Spanish words.  This will be helpful to create an exception dictionary
for my text-to-speech algorithm.

Any information, leads or contacts pertaining to the above inquiries 
will be greatly appreciated.  I can be reached at the following email
address:

                  TRITTIN@UDEL.EDU or TRITTIN@ASEL.UDEL.EDU

Thank you (in advance),

Pamela
