Abstract
A data-base called "Elenco delle Parole Ortograficamente Simili" - EPOS, which contains the orthographic neighbours of the 7076 lemmas of the "Vocabolario di base della lingua italiana" (VDB) (De Mauro, 1991), is presented. These orthographic neighbours appear both in the Zingarelli 1999 dictionary and in the VDB. Our EPOS was conceived to facilitate the construction of lists of words with a stated number of neighbours. Its use extends from experimental research to other fields, including the evaluation of the reading ability of good readers and dyslexic subjects.
