[Corpora-List] Frequency Dictionary of Italian

[Mark Davies]

Routledge has initiated a new series of corpus-based frequency
dictionaries.  The editors for this series are Paul Rayson (Lancaster)
and Mark Davies (BYU).

In late 2005, the first two books in this series were published:

German (Jones/Tschirner):

isbn=9780415316330&parent_id=&pc=/shopping_cart/search/search.asp?search
%3Dfrequency%2Bdictionary

Spanish (Davies):

isbn=9780415334297&parent_id=&pc=/shopping_cart/search/search.asp?search
%3Dfrequency%2Bdictionary

In addition, a frequency dictionary of Portuguese is now underway
(Davies/Preto-Bay), and work should begin soon on dictionaries for
French and Arabic.

In the case of Italian, however, we have yet to identify possible
authors.  If you are interested in authoring a frequency dictionary of
Italian -- based on a robust corpus comprised of several genres --
please feel free to contact us: Paul Rayson
(rayson at exchange.lancs.ac.uk) or Mark Davies (mark_davies at byu.edu).

Thanks,

Mark Davies
