[Corpora-List] Corpus size & frequency counts

[Brett at staff.sakuragaoka.ac.jp]

I'm doing a frequency count of Japanese vocabulary in post-war Japanese
novels. Is there any rough guide to how many times a given word should
appear before you can be reasonably confident of its rank? Or
alternatively, at a given frequency, any way to calculate the likely range
of ranks?
