The School of Educational Studies, Universiti Sains Malaysia, is developing an online Malay language word corpus for the purpose of research, assessment and intervention in the Malay language at primary level. This online system contains the common words that occur in the Malay language textbooks used in Malaysian schools and the related linguistic information.

The targeted users include regular teachers, special education teachers, pre-service teachers, parents, researchers and interventionists in Malaysia. Users could conduct word search according to six primary linguistic features, which include frequency of occurrence, word length, phoneme length, number of syllable, type of syllable and word category This word corpus is also potentially useful for the broader Asia Pacific context which includes Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia.

Currently, we are offering this work-in-progress online portal as open access site.
