Centre national de ressources textuelles et lexicales, Research organization in Nancy, France
The Centre national de ressources textuelles et lexicales is a research organization in Nancy that maintains extensive databases of French language resources through a digital portal. The platform provides access to text collections, dictionaries, and lexical materials for researchers and the general public.
The organization was established in 2005 under the direction of CNRS to centralize French language research materials in one place. It grew from the need to systematically gather and share French linguistic resources with the research community.
The center gathers French language materials including historical dictionaries and specialized reference works that researchers and students can explore. These resources help people understand how the French language has developed and changed over time.
The digital resources are accessible through the organization's online portal and can be used from anywhere. The website handles thousands of daily requests for language research and reference purposes.
The center developed Pompamo, a specialized tool that automatically detects new words entering the French language. This system analyzes texts systematically to track and record how the language evolves and adopts new terms.
