[Corpora-List] (no subject)

[Martin Reynaert]

Dear Amanda,

I have a sneaky feeling you may be interested in what is called
`vocabulary growth curves'. In which case: do check out:
http://zipfr.r-forge.r-project.org/ .

If that proves to be too much all of a sudden, do check out:

H. Baayen (2001). Word frequency distributions. Kluwer, Dordrecht.

You will want to go on to his more recent publications after that ;0)

Best,

Martin
