FRANTEXT is a historically and culturally important database of French literary, philosophical and technical texts with an emphasis on diversity and representation, spanning the Middle Ages to the present, and offered on a subscription basis. This resource is aimed at linguists and literary scholars in the humanities and social sciences, and is notable for its inclusion of a powerful search engine called Stella. Stella is a sophisticated NLP search suite, and includes regular expression search, lemmatization, vocabulary list and entity categorization functions.
