WWW-Lemmie 2.0 is a web-based tool for searching text corpora in the Language Bank of Finland. Lemmie allows the user to obtain concordances, word frequencies and collocation tables as well as various kinds of statistical information from the corpora. The original full texts are also accessible from the search results. Lemmie provides access to a number of newspaper and journal volumes and books (fiction and prose) mostly in Finnish but also in Finland-Swedish. Currently, it is not possible for users to add new corpora to Lemmie.

Lemmie is available for academic use. Personal access rights must be applied through the Language Bank Rights interface at CSC.

WWW-Lemmie 2.0 is built on the Lemmie API 2.0, an object-oriented programmer's interface (written in Perl) to the lexical database of the Language Bank of Finland.

There is also a command-line version of Lemmie, lemmieshell, which is available for use on the corpus server of the Language Bank of Finland.
