Have you considered replacing your frequency dict with a
defaultdict(int)​?  That way you could boil the whole thing down to:

from collections import defaultdict
frequency = defaultdict(int)
...
<more code here>
...
if word1 == word:
    frequency[word] += 1

The defaultdict takes care of the special case for you.  If the value is
missing, it's defaulted to 0.
