Frequency Dictionaries
Content
The Frequency Dictionaries series aims at producing dictionaries with comparable frequency data for a large number of different languages. For many of the languages featured in this collection, this series is the first comprehensive compilation to use a large-scale empirical base. The series is published by Leipziger Universitätsverlag.
All dictionaries follow the same scheme:
- The frequency dictionary is based on the word list of the largest corpus available for the corresponding language.
- A chapter on language statistics describes the alphabet, the distribution of vowels and consonants, syllable and word length, text coverage, etc.
- The most frequent words ordered by rank – The top-1,000 words printed and the top-1,000,000 words on the accompanying CD-ROM
- he most frequent words ordered alphabetically – The top-10,000 words printed and the top-1,000,000 words on the accompanying CD-ROM
- The word lists provided on the CD-ROM can be used freely under the Creative Commons Licence CC-BY 3.0 zur Verfügung gestellt.
