================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear linguists,

I am wondering if I can collect references on language change studies
based on real-time framework rather than apparent-time framework. 

I would like to know any relevant studies either in sociolinguistics, 
historical linguistics, contact linguistics or any other relevant areas 
of linguistics.

I promise that I will post a summary when available. 

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

Cheers,

Does anyone know of a corpus (or summary of a corpus) of spoken Mandarin
that includes frequency data? I am interested in compiling a core spoken
vocabulary list for modern Chinese.

Thanks!
