What is a DELA file?
A DELA file is a corpus saved in the Dictionnaires Electroniques du LADL format. It contains a plain text list of words or other lexical entries, as well as associated linguistic metadata. Linguists and computer scientists can import DELA files into corpus processing applications to analyze the datasets they contain.
More Information
The DELA format is designed to allow linguists and those conducting natural language processing (NLP) research to structure dictionary-like datasets. Each DELA file can include any number of words, as well as annotations describing those words' morphological information, part-of-speech tags, syntactic categories, semantic features, and more.
All DELA files list one entry (and its associated metadata) per line. However, DELA files' exact formatting may vary depending on how they are meant to be used. Therefore, you may need to refer to documentation provided by a DELA file's creator (usually a software developer or linguistics researcher) before you can use it.
How to open a DELA file
You can open a DELA file with Unitex/GramLab and other corpus processing applications to view, analyze, and manipulate the dataset it contains. If you do not have access to a corpus processing application, you can instead open a DELA file with Microsoft Visual Studio Code or another text editor, to view the dataset it contains as a plain text document.
