[Corpora-List] SUBTLEX-UK: word frequencies for British English

[Mark Davies]

Hi Marc,

Looks great - thanks. BTW, did I ever mention to you the 100 million word Corpus of American Soap Operas that I developed a year or so ago:

http://corpus2.byu.edu/soap/

It might be useful data, to include with what you already have. A lot of this data from the soap opera corpus is included in the 100k word list that also includes data from COCA, COHA, and the BNC:

http://www.wordfrequency.info/samples_100k.asp (samples)

Anyway, fwiw ... And thanks again for all of the good word frequency data that you and your team continue to make available.

Best,

Mark D.

We have collected subtitle-based word frequency norms for British English. As expected, they are a better predictor of the reaction times and accuracy levels in the British Lexicon Project than any other word frequency measure available. We also for the first time use the frequency Zipf scale, which we hope will clear many existing misunderstandings about the word frequency effect.
