This paper presents CorpusDRF, an open-source, digitized collection of regionalisms, their parts of speech and recognition rates, published in 'Dictionnaire des Regionalismes de France' (DRF, "Dictionary of Regionalisms of France") (Rezeau, 2001), enabling the visualization and analyses of the largest-scale study of French regionalisms in the 20th century using publicly available data. CorpusDRF was curated and checked manually against the entirety of the printed volume of more than 1000 pages. It contains all the entries in the DRF for which recognition rates in continental France were recorded from the surveys carried out from 1994 to 1996 and from 1999 to 2000. In this paper, in addition to introducing the corpus, we also offer some exploratory visualizations using an easy-to-use, freely available web application and compare the patterns in our analysis with that by (Goebl, 2005a) and (Goebl, 2007).
