[Corpora-List] word frequencies on the web

[Alexander Schutz]

Hi Tony,

while this is not particularly an answer to your question,
I would recommend reading through a discussion held on
this list last year:
http://torvald.aksis.uib.no/corpora/2005-1/0191.html
and the follow up:
http://torvald.aksis.uib.no/corpora/2005-1/0562.html

The Google dataset however might be very helpful.
