<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>No, I didn't give all of the
relevant details in the first message. The main issue is what is a an
"adequate" corpus size to create a lemma list of X number of words in
a given language. If it's a top 10,000 lemma list, is 10,000,000 words adequate?
Is 100,000,000 much better? The main point -- is it worth the effort to create
a corpus ten times the size for only a small increase in accuracy? And I'm not
just asking for the sake of curiosity -- there's an upcoming project that needs
some data on this.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>It would be every 5th or
50th word of running text *in the corpus*, *not* the ranked list. In this way,
even words that occur mainly in multiword expressions should be fine. Adjacent
words X1 and X2 would each be counted as would any other word. Sometimes the
first word would be retrieved as we take words 1, 11, 21, 31... etc, and
sometimes it would be the second word. It would never take the whole multiword
expression together, of course, but then we're just after 1-grams for the lemma
list (unless we *want* to preserve multiword units in the list, as in earlier
versions of the BNC, for example).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>And again, I'm not proposing
to actually reduce a 100 million word corpus down to a 10 million word corpus
-- that wouldn't make any sense. The point is whether -- for a ranked lemma
list of size X -- a 10 million word corpus, for example, might be nearly as
adequate as a 100 million word corpus (all other things -- genres, etc -- being
equal).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
