[Corpora-List] Word frequency question

[Mark Davies]

For Spanish, might look at the "Frequency Dictionary of Spanish (Core Vocabulary for Learners)", which will be published in 3-4 weeks by Routledge (as part of their new series of frequency dictionaries).  Based on 20 million word corpus, equally divided between spoken, fiction, and non-fiction.  Top 5000 lemma, English glosses, sample sentences from corpus, indications of register differences, etc etc.
 
For English, might try (among others):
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/ucrel/bncfreq/
http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/~Adam.Kilgarriff/bnc-readme.html
 
Also, you might try http://view.byu.edu -- frequency lists from the BNC by register, POS, etc -- fully searchable.
 
Best,
