[Lingtyp] Two types of frequency

[Erich Round]

Hi 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.

Macklin-Cordes, Jayden L., and Erich R. Round. ‘Re-Evaluating Phoneme Frequencies’. Frontiers in Psychology 11 (2020): 3181. https://doi.org/doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.570895.

All the best,
Erich

Subject: [Lingtyp] Two types of frequency
Dear typologists,

What are the terms for the following two types of frequency:

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

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)

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.

Regards,
Ian
