Re: Top most frequent words

[Ahmet Aksoy]

Hi John,
I haven't investigated the sources yet, but you might be right.
However, as you stated, those type of lists directly depend on the 
subject, and the source.
Anyway, it is not very important for my study, and I'm sure it will help 
me very much.
I will prepare optimized lists if I can obtain some different sets.
Best regards.

Scroll half-way through the page, look on the right side:  1,000 most
frequent words for several languages.
 

Hmm.  I'm not sure how valuable that is.   For English "los" and 
"angeles" are ranked 99 and 101 respectively and "officials" comes in 
at 125.   Obviously I'm guessing, but those middle ranking words have 
come from a slightly skewed source -- newspapers in a fixed interval 
perhaps.  (I don't think "Los Angeles" makes it into every day 
parlance in the UK, and "officials" suggests that we're obsessed with 
beauracracy :-))
