Thank you very much. Of course, I know this article and have even read
it through three times, but for another purpose. The issue it
addresses is different from my question.


I would also like to thank all those who have taken the trouble of
answering my question.


I thought I once read in some place I don't remember now that the
minimum sizes for lexicographic corpora to be used for making
unabridged and pedagogical abridged general dictionaries are ten and
one billion words respectively, but I might have seen this only in my
dream.
