[Rayson, Paul]

Dear Sanjay,

These lists are downloadable from http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/ucrel/bncfreq/

This is the companion website for

Leech, G., Rayson, P., and Wilson, A. (forthcoming). Word Frequencies in
Written and Spoken English: based on the British National Corpus. Longman,
London. ISBN 0582-32007-0

which will be published next week.

Regards,
Paul.
