Corpora: word use-frequency corpora

[LDC Office]

Dear Andrew,

The Linguistic Data Consortium's CallHome Lexicons offer
information on word frequency, as well as orthography, morphology,
pronunciation, and stress.  The languages covered by the CallHome
Lexicons are American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese,
Mandarin, and Spanish.

A search by corpus type in our Catalog will point you to further
details regarding these lexicons, as well as all other data
available through LDC.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Best,
