[Corpora-List] the 300 most frequent singular-plural pairs in German

[T. Florian Jaeger]

Hi,

I am forwarding a question of a friend of mine (Michael Frank, please
respond to him; I cc-ed him). He is interested in the most frequent German
singular-plural pairs (actually he is only interested in those pairs that
don't have English cognates, see below). Does anyone have an idea how to
get a hold of, say, the 300 most frequent pairs or even more generally
frequency lists of German nouns?

Thx a lot in advance,

What I'm looking for, most specifically, is the 100 most frequent
non-english cognate object words and their pairings, and I'm looking for
whichever part of the pairing is most frequent.  So I can just take a list
of 300 or more frequent nouns and eliminate the cognates and the object
words.  Then I'll need to find the plurals, although a plural list would
save me a lot of dictionary time.  Does that make things clearer?
