Subject: SUMMARY: Word Frequency Databases
Dear Readers,
I recently posted a query concerning word frequency databases for
English, in addition to the widely used Kucera and Francis (1982), or
"Brown Corpus." Below is a summary of reader recommendations.
1. CELEX database (Max Planck Institute).
http://celex.mpi.nl
http://www.kun.nl/celex
2. BNC (British National Corpus)
ftp://ftp.itri.bton.ac.uk/pub/bnc/
3. Cobuild corpus
http://titania.cobuild.collins.co.uk/
4. ICAME (includes ordering info. for Brown Corpus)
http://www.hd.uib.no/corpora.html
5. Wordsmith analysis software
http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~lexical/
My heartfelt thanks to all who responded to the query. In addition, I
located two earlier summary postings to LINGLIST on the same topic;
these can be found at
'www.ai.univie.ac.at/archives/Linguist/Vol-7-0500-0599/0083.html' and
'www.linguistlist.org/issues/5/5-1133.html.
