[Lingtyp] Two types of frequency

[Ian Joo]

Dear typologists,

thank you for your suggestions, and sorry for my late reply. The general agreement on the terminology appears to be:

1. The frequency in which a phoneme appears in the lexemes of a lect's vocabulary (i.e. how many lexemes have this phoneme): Lexical frequency

2. The frequency in which a phoneme appears within the utterance of the lect's user (i.e. how often does this phoneme occur in a given person's use of this lect): Token frequency or discourse frequency

From Korea,
Ian

> In the paper below, Jayden Macklin-Cordes and I referred to 1 and 2 (or something close to your definition in 2) as lexical frequency and discourse frequency respectively.

> Googling and ChatGPT have failed me. I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether there are terms for these two types of frequency.
