A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English

A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English is an invaluable tool for all learners of American English, providing a list of the 5,000 most frequently used words in the language.

The dictionary is based on data from a 385-million-word corpus—evenly balanced between spoken English (unscripted conversation from radio and TV shows), fiction (books, short stories, movie scripts), more than 100 popular magazines, ten newspapers, and 100 academic journals—for a total of nearly 150,000 texts.

All entries in the rank frequency list feature the top 20-30 collocates (nearby words) for that word, which provide valuable insight into the meaning and usage. Alphabetical and part of speech indexes are provided for ease of use. The dictionary also contains 31 thematically organized and frequency-ranked lists of words on a variety of topics, such as family, sports, and food. New words in the language, differences between American and British English, and grammar topics such as the most frequent phrasal verbs are also covered.

A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English is an engaging and efficient resource enabling students of all levels to get the most out of their study of vocabulary. It is also a rich resource for language teaching, research, curriculum design, and materials development.

Series preface
Frequency information has a central role to play in learning a language. Nation (1990) showed that the 4,000-5,000 most frequent words account for up to 95 percent of a written text and the 1,000 most frequent words account for 85 percent of speech. Although Nation's results were only for English, they do provide clear evidence that, when employing frequency as a general guide for vocabulary learning, it is possible to acquire a lexicon which will serve a learner well most of the time. There are two caveats to bear in mind here. First, counting words is not as straightforward as it might seem. Gardner (2007) highlights the problems that multiple word meanings, the presence of multiword items, and grouping words into families or lemmas, have on counting and analysing words. Second, frequency data contained in frequency dictionaries should never act as the only information source to guide a learner. Frequency information is nonetheless a very good starting point, and one which may produce rapid benefits. It therefore seems rational to prioritize learning the words that you are likely to hear and read most often. That is the philosophy behind this series of dictionaries.
Lists of words and their frequencies have long been available for teachers and learners of language. For example, Thorndike (1921, 1932) and Thorndike and Lorge (1944) produced word frequency books with counts of word occurrences in texts used in the education of American children. Michael West's General Service List of English Words (1953) was primarily aimed at foreign learners of English. More recently, with the aid of efficient computer software and very large bodies of language data (called corpora), researchers have been able to provide more sophisticated frequency counts from both written text and transcribed speech. One important feature of the resulting frequencies presented in this series is that they are derived from recently collected language data. The earlier lists for English included samples from, for example, Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, thus they could no longer represent present-day language in any sense.
Frequency data derived from a large representative corpus of a language brings students closer to language as it is used in real life as opposed to textbook language (which often distorts the frequencies of features in a language, see Ljung, 1990). The information in these dictionaries is presented in a number of formats to allow users to access the data in different ways. So, for example, if you would prefer not to simply drill down through the word frequency list, but would rather focus on verbs for example, the part of speech index will allow you to focus on just the most frequent verbs. Given that verbs typically account for 20 percent of all words in a language, this may be a good strategy. Also, a focus on function words may be equally rewarding—60 percent of speech in English is composed of a mere 50 function words. The series also provides information of use to the language teacher. The idea that frequency information may have a role to play in syllabus design is not new (see, for example, Sinclair and Renouf 1988). However, to date it has been difficult for those teaching languages other than English to use frequency information in syllabus design because of a lack of data.
Frequency information should not be studied to the exclusion of other contextual and situational knowledge about language use and we may even doubt the validity of frequency information derived from large corpora. It is interesting to note that Alderson (2007) found that corpus frequencies may not match a native speaker's intuition about estimates of word frequency and that a set of estimates of word frequencies collected from language experts varied widely. Thus corpus-derived frequencies are still the best current estimate of a word's importance that a learner will come across. Around the time of the construction of the first machine-readable corpora, Halliday (1971: 344) stated that "a rough indication of frequencies is often just what is needed." Our aim in this series is to provide as accurate as possible estimates of word frequencies.

Introduction
The value of this frequency dictionary of English
"I don't know that word." "What does that word mean?" "How is that word used?" These are some of the most common pleas for help by language learners—and justifiably so.
Not knowing enough words, or the right words, is often the root cause of miscommunication, the inability to read and write well, and a host of related problems. This fundamental need is compounded by the fact that there are simply so many words to know in any language, but especially in English, which may contain well over two million distinct words (Crystal, 1995)—and growing fast. Thirty years ago, who would have thought that we would be "surfing" in our own homes, or that "chips" would be good things to have inside our equipment, or that we would be excited "to google this" and "to google that."
Without belaboring the obvious, it is little wonder that learners, teachers, researchers, materials developers, and many others are interested in establishing some sense of priority and direction to what could easily become vocabulary chaos. Our frequency dictionary is designed for this very purpose. We wanted to know which of the vast number of English words to start with, and we also wanted to know which other words these words "hang out with"—their neighbors (or collocates)—which provide crucial information about the meaning and use of these words. Perhaps even more importantly, we wanted to know this for our current day, not for some English of the past, when punch cards were used to program computers, and when surfing was only done at the beach. In short, we offer A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English with the hope that it will benefit those who are trying to learn our current mother tongue, as well as for those who desire to assist them.
As a final introductory note, we might mention that if you find this dictionary valuable and would like a similar electronic version (fewer collocates, but more of other features), feel free to visit http://www.americancorpus.org/dictionary.
What is in this dictionary?
This frequency dictionary is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of language students and teachers, as well as those who are interested in the computational processing of English. The main index contains the 5,000 most common words in American English, starting with such basic words as the and of, and quickly progressing through to more intermediate and advanced words. Because the dictionary is based on the actual frequency of words in a large 385-million-word corpus of many different types of English texts (spoken, fiction, magazines, newspaper, and academic), the user can feel comfortable that these words are very likely to be encountered in the "real world."
In addition to providing a listing of the most frequent 5,000 words, the entries provide other information that should be of great use to the language learner. Each entry shows the main collocates for each word, grouped by part of speech and in order of frequency. These collocates provide important and useful insight into the meaning and usage of the word, following the idea that "you can tell a lot about a word by the other words that it hangs out with." The entries also show where each of the collocates occur with regards to the head word (before, after, or both), which denotes whether they are subject, object, and so on. Finally, the entries indicate whether the words are more common in one genre of English (e.g. spoken or academic) than in the others.
Aside from the main frequency listing, there are also indexes that sort the entries by alphabetical order and part of speech. The alphabetical index can be of great value to students who, for example, want to look up a word from a short story or newspaper article, and see how common the word is in general. The part of speech indexes could be of benefit to
students who want to focus selectively on verbs, nouns, or some other part of speech. Finally, there are a number of thematically related lists (clothing, foods, emotions, etc.) as well as comparisons of vocabulary across genres and over time, all of which should enhance the learning experience. The expectation, then, is that this frequency dictionary will significantly support the efforts of a wide range of students and teachers who are involved in the acquisition and teaching of English vocabulary.
Comparison to other frequency dictionaries of English
Historically, most frequency dictionaries (also referred to as word books and word lists) have been created to meet educational needs, with many designed specifically to meet the needs of foreign- and second-language learners of English. Prominent among these are: The Teacher's Word Book of 30,000 Words (Thorndike and Lorge, 1944)—based on 4.5 million words from general English texts, magazines, and juvenile books; The General Service List of English Words (West, 1953)—a list of the 2,000 highest frequency words (with semantic distinctions and counts) based on visual inspections by semanticists of 5 million words from various sources (encyclopedias, magazines, textbooks, novels, etc.); the Brown Corpus list (Francis and KuCera, 1982)— based on 1 million words of written American English; and its British English counterpart—the LOB corpus list (Johansson and Hofland, 1989).
For many purposes, these latter two replaced the older lists of Thorndike and Lorge. Additionally, there are several more specialized school lists, such as: the American Heritage Word Frequency Book (Carroll, Davies, and Richman 1971)—based on 5 million running words of written school English (grades 3 through 9); the Academic Word List (Coxhead, 2000)—570 academic word families based on 3.5 million running words of academic texts; and the very early A Basic Vocabulary of Elementary School Children (Rinsland, 1945)—based on 6 million running words of actual children's writing samples.
A great debt is owed to the pioneering scholars who generated these and other frequency lists to facilitate English vocabulary learning, research, and description. Building on these earlier efforts, A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American
English addresses several vocabulary needs in the field of English language education. First, and perhaps most obvious, it is based on contemporary American English, thus making it more ecologically valid in educational and research settings where American English is the target, and where many are still relying on the nearly 30-year-old Brown Corpus (Francis and Kucera, 1982) for frequency information about American English vocabulary. (Note: the actual texts for the Brown Corpus were from 1961.) Second, unlike the Brown Corpus (1 million words of written English only), the frequency counts in this dictionary are based on a very large and balanced corpus of both written and spoken materials (385 million words from five major genres), thus adding confidence that the highest frequency words have indeed been determined and properly ranked, and that these words have a high degree of utility across major genres of importance to English language learners (spoken, fiction, newspapers, magazines, and academic).
Third, the inclusion of collocates (by part of speech) for each of the 5,000 high-frequency node words adds a semantic richness to the dictionary that is often lacking when only the forms of words are tallied without consideration of their potential meanings (Gardner, 2007). The tightness of some of these node-collocate relationships (big deal, bad habit, make sense, trash talk, etc.) also highlights the phrasal nature of many English vocabulary items (Cowie, 1998). Such collocational knowledge is a crucial component of what it means to know a word (Nation, 2001) and has also been recognized as a characteristic difference between native and non-native language abilities (Nesselhauf, 2005). Therefore, language learners and their teachers should benefit from the rich semantic and pragmatic information the collocates provide, thus taking us one step closer to Read's (2000) call for new high-frequency word lists that are based on large electronic corpora, but which also account for the many meanings that language learners need to negotiate. Although semantic frequency is not fully realized in this dictionary, the collocates do provide some support for semantic interpretations, and will certainly aid in determining which meanings of a word form to teach or learn.
Finally, the 30 call-out boxes in this dictionary are packed with useful vocabulary information for
language learners and their teachers, including words that make up many of the basic semantic sets of the language (animals, body, clothing, colors, emotions, family, food, etc.), words that characterize a specific genre of the language (spoken, fiction, academic, etc.), words that are new to American English, words that tend to be characteristically American or British, productive suffixes and the actual content words they are found in (nouns and adjectives), and the highest frequency phrasal verbs of American English. (Compare with Gardner and Davies, 2007, which lists the highest frequency phrasal verbs of British English.) These and other call-out boxes in the dictionary can be used for self-study, teaching, assessment, materials development, and research purposes.
To our knowledge, there is only one other publicly accessible frequency dictionary of English that is based on a large mega-corpus—Word Frequencies in Written and Spoken English (Leech, Rayson, and Wilson, 2001). However, our dictionary is quite different in at least three major respects. First, the Longman frequency dictionary represents British, not American, English, and it bases its word-frequency information on the British National Corpus (BNC). Second, most of the texts in the BNC are at least 20 years old, while texts in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) are current through late 2008. Third, while both corpora are balanced for genre (e.g. spoken, fiction, newspaper, and academic), COCA (385 million words as of 2008, currently 400 million and growing by 20 million per year) is nearly four times as large as the BNC (100 million words), allowing us to have more confidence in determining the words that should "make the list" and in finding their meaningful neighbors.
In addition to the differences in focus, age, and sampling size between the two dictionaries, there are also differences in the presentation formats. The Longman dictionary is mainly composed of straight frequency lists of words and lemmas, while this dictionary is oriented specifically to language learners, supplementing the frequency listings with the unique features previously mentioned: (a) frequency-ranked collocates (co-occurring words) for each headword in the frequency dictionary— which can help learners and their teachers better understand the meanings and uses of the high frequency words; and (b) the more than 30 thematically oriented vocabulary lists (call-out boxes) for particular semantic, grammatical, or lexical categories that would be helpful for language training purposes.
The corpus
A frequency dictionary is only as good as the corpus on which it is based. The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) is the largest balanced corpus of American English, and the largest balanced corpus of any language that is publicly available (http://www.americancorpus.org
). In addition to being very large (currently over 400 million words; 20 million words each year 1990-2008), the corpus is also balanced evenly between spoken (unscripted conversation from 150+ radio and TV shows), fiction (e.g. books, short stories, movie scripts), 100+ popular magazines, ten newspapers, and 100+ academic journals—for a total of 150,000+ texts.
The more than 150,000 texts come from a variety of sources:
Spoken: (79 million words) transcripts of unscripted conversation from more than 150 different TV and radio programs (e.g. All Things Considered (NPR), Newshour (PBS), Good Morning America (ABC), Today Show (NBC),60 Minutes (CBS), Hannity and Colmes (Fox), Jerry Springer, etc.). (See notes on the naturalness and authenticity of the language from these transcripts.)
Fiction: (76 million words) short stories and plays from literary magazines, children's magazines, popular magazines, first chapters of first edition books 1990-present, and movie scripts.
Popular magazines: (81 million words) nearly 100 different magazines, with a good mix (overall, and by year) between specific domains (news, health, home and gardening, women, financial, religion, sports, etc.). A few examples are Time, Men's Health, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Fortune, Christian Century, Sports Illustrated, etc.
Newspapers: (76 million words) ten newspapers from across the US, including: USA Today, New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, San Francisco Chronicle, etc. In most cases, there is a good mix between different sections of the newspaper, such as local news, opinion, sports, financial, etc. ·Academic journals: (76 million words) nearly 100 different peer-reviewed journals. These were selected to cover the entire range of the Library of Congress classification system (e.g. a certain percentage from B (philosophy, psychology, religion), D (world history), K (education), T (technology), etc.), both overall and by number of words per year.
In summary, the corpus is very well balanced at both the "macro" level (e.g. spoken, fiction, newspapers) and the "micro" level (i.e. the types of texts and the distribution of the sources) within each of these macro genres.
Annotating and organizing the data from the corpus
In order to create a frequency dictionary, the words in the corpus must be tagged (for part of speech) and lemmatized. Tagging means that a part of speech is assigned to each word—noun, verb, and so on. Lemmatization means that each word form is assigned to a particular "head word" or "lemma", such as go, goes, going, went, and gone being marked as forms of the lemma go.
The tagging and lemmatization was done with the CLAWS tagger (Version 7), which is the same tagger that was used for the British National Corpus (http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/
) and for other important corpora of English as well. One of the most difficult parts of tagging, of course, is to correctly assign the part of speech for words that are potentially ambiguous. In cases such as computer, disturb, lazy, or fitfully, these are unambiguously tagged as noun, verb, adjective, and adverb, respectively. But in a case such as light, the word can be a noun (he turned on the light), verb (should we light the fire?), or adjective (there was a light breeze). In these circumstances, the tagger looks at the context in which the word occurs in each instance to determine the correct part of speech. While the CLAWS tagger is very good, it does produce errors. We have tried to correct for most of these, but there are undoubtedly still some that remain.
It of course makes sense to provide separate entries in the dictionary for words with different parts of speech, such as noun and verb. For example,
the word beat as a noun has collocates such as hear, miss, steady, drum, and rhythm. As a verb, however, it takes collocates such as heart, egg, bowl, severely, or Yankees. Even in cases where the word appears as a noun and an adjective (magic, potential, dark, veteran), the collocates for the two parts of speech are very different, and it would probably be too confusing to conflate them into one entry. Perhaps the most problematic are function words such as since, which appear up to three times in this dictionary. In the case of since, for example, it appears as preposition (he's been here since 1942), adverb (several other schools have since been constructed), and conjunction (since they won't be here until 5 pm, we'll just leave for a minute). In these cases, we have simply followed the output of the tagger. If it says that there are multiple different parts of speech, then the word appears under each of those parts of speech in the dictionary.
Frequency and dispersion
After the tagging and lemmatization of the 400 million words in the corpus, our final step was to determine exactly which of these words would be included in the final list of the 5,000 most frequent words (or lemmas). One approach would be to simply use frequency counts. For example, all lemmas that occur 5,000 times or more in the corpus might be included in the dictionary. Imagine, however, a case where a particular scientific term was used repeatedly in engineering articles or in sports reporting in newspapers, but it did not appear in any works of fiction or in any of the spoken texts. Alternatively, suppose that a given word is spread throughout an entire register (spoken, fiction, newspaper, or academic), but that it is still limited almost exclusively to that register. Should the word still be included in the frequency dictionary? The argument could be made that we should look at more than just raw frequency counts in cases such as this, and that we ought to look at "dispersion" as well, or how well the word is "spread across" all of the registers in the entire corpus.
In our dictionary, we have used Juilland's "D dispersion index". A score of 1.00 means that the word is perfectly spread across the corpus, so that if we divided the corpus into one hundred equally sized sections (each with 4 million words, in the case

of our nearly 400 million word corpus), the word would have exactly the same frequency in each section. A dispersion score of .10, on the other hand, would mean that it occurs a lot in a handful of sections, and perhaps not at all or very little in the other sections.
As a clear example of the contrast between "frequency" and "dispersion", consider Table 1. All of the words in this table have essentially the same frequency—an average of about 3,000 occurrences in the corpus. The words to the left, however, have a "dispersion" score of at least 0.95, which means that the word has roughly the same frequency in all of the 100 sections of the corpus that we used for the calculation. The words to the right, on the other hand, have a much lower dispersion score. Most would easily agree that the words shown at the left would be more useful in a frequency dictionary, because they represent a wide range of texts and text types in the corpus. Therefore, as we can see, frequency alone is probably not sufficient to determine whether a word should be in the dictionary.
The final calculation
The calculation to determine which words are included in this frequency dictionary was a fairly straightforward one. The formula was simply:
score = frequency * dispersion
For example, consider the words near 3210 in the frequency dictionary (see Table 2). The word furthermore has a higher frequency (9594 tokens) than the other two words, but it has lower dispersion (.86).Orange, on the other hand, has a lower frequency (8881 tokens) but it has better dispersion across the corpus. Taxpayer (frequency of 9140 and dispersion of .90) is in the middle of both of these. But with the formula that takes into account both frequency and dispersion, these three words end up having more or less the same score.

Collocates
A unique feature of this frequency dictionary is the listing of the top collocates (nearby words) for each of the 5,000 words in the frequency listing. These collocates provide important and useful insight into the meaning and use of the keyword. To find the collocates, we did the following. First, we decided which parts of speech to group together in order to rank the collocates and show the most frequent ones. In the case of verbs, we grouped noun collocates (subject:the evidence supports what she said, and object: this supports the claim), and all other collocates were grouped as miscellaneous (e.g. with, directly, difficult, and prepare for the verb deal). For nouns, we looked for adjectives (green grass), other nouns (fire station), and verbs (e.g. desire to succeed). For adjectives, we looked for nouns (fast car) and all other collocates were grouped as miscellaneous (completely exhausted, willing to stay, black and white). Finally, for adverbs and other parts of speech, we see collocates from all parts of speech listed together (sharply reduce, fewer than, except for).
To find the collocates for a given word, a computer program searched the entire 385-million-word corpus and looked at each context in which that word occurred. In all cases, the context (or "span") of words was four words to the left and four words to the right of the "node word". The overall frequency of the collocates in each of those contexts was then calculated, and the collocates were examined and rated by at least four native speakers.
Obviously, common words such as the, of, to, etc. were usually the most frequent collocates. To filter out these words, we set a Mutual Information (MI) threshold of about 2.5. The MI calculation took into account the overall frequency of each collocate, so that common words were usually eliminated from the list.
Using MI is sometimes more an art than a science. If the MI is set too low, then high frequency "noise words" show up as collocates, whereas if it is set too high, then only highly idiomatic collocates are found. As an example, the most frequent collocates of break as a verb—when the MI score is set high at 5.5—are: deadlock, logjam, monotony, and stranglehold. These are quite idiomatic and don't really show well the "core meaning" of break. On the other hand, the most frequent collocates when the MI threshold is set very low at 1.0 are down, into, up, and off, which again do not provide a good sense of its meaning. Finally, however, when we set the MI threshold to 2.5, we find the most frequent collocates are: heart, silence, rules, loose, leg, and barriers, which (for native speakers, at least), probably do relate more to the core meaning and usage of break. But getting the MI threshold set just right for each of the 5,000 headwords was a bit daunting, to say the least. We hope that the data found here agree with your intuitions of what these words mean and how they are used.
The main frequency index
The main index in this dictionary is a rank-ordered listing of the top 5,000 words (lemma) in English, starting with the most frequent word (the definite article the) and progressing through to parish, rejection, and mutter, which are the last three words in the list. The following information is given for each entry:
rank frequency (1, 2, 3,...),lemma, part of speech
collocates, grouped by part of speech and ordered by frequency
raw frequency, dispersion (0.00-1.00), (indication of register variation)
As a concrete example, let us look at the entry for the verb break:
501 break v
n ·law, heart, news, ·rule, silence, story, ·ground, ·barrier, leg, bone, ·piece, ·neck, arm, ·cycle, voice^ misc ·into, ·away, ·free, ·apart, ·loose
up marriage, ·fight, boyfriend, meetings girlfriend, union, band, pass, ·demonstration, ·monotony down ·into, ·barrier, car_v ·cry, ·door, ·tear, talk_venzyme^, completely, negotiation out war„ fight, fire_v sweat, fighting,, riot., violence^, ·laugh, ·hive off piece, talk, ·engagement, negotiation, branch, abruptly, ·relation 72917 | 0.97
This entry shows that word number 501 in our rank order list is the verb break. The last line of the entry shows the raw frequency for the lemma (72,917 tokens) and the dispersion (.97 in this case). The collocates are given in the intervening lines. As can be seen, they are partially grouped by part of speech In the case of verbs, we see the noun collocates and then other parts of speech (miscellaneous).
Note also that for some collocates, there is an indication of the placement of the collocate. When the [ · ] is before the collocate, this means that the node word (headword) is typically found before that collocate (break the law, break into pieces). When the [ · ] is after the collocate, this means that the node word is typically found after the collocate (her voice broke, all hell broke loose). This symbol can provide useful information, for example, on whether the collocates are subjects or objects of a given verb, or whether the node word noun acts as a subject or object of the verbal collocate. (Note, however, that with passives and relative clauses, the noun that is object of a verb will occur before the verb, which does confuse things a bit.) In order to display the [ · ] symbol, 80 percent or more of the tokens of a given collocate had to occur either before or after the node word. In the case of ADJ / NOUN and NOUN / ADJ, word order is typically so consistent (blue house, never *house blue) that the [ · ] is not used to show placement.
Finally, as is seen above, in the case of some verbs that can act as phrasal verbs (break up, turn down, cut off, etc.), these are listed in bold (with their own collocates) at the end of the regular collocates list for verbs. Phrasal verbs are only listed when they have a frequency of at least 1,000 in the corpus, and when there are at least three collocates with a frequency of at least five occurrences each.
Let us consider one other example:
3404 hypothesis n
j null, following, consistent, alternative, working, general, initial, original, theoretical, competing n study, support., result, test, research, testing, evidence, analysis, method, set v .predict, suggest, reject, examine, confirm, base, develop, formulate, .state, .explain 9282 | 0.82 A
This entry is for hypothesis (word #3404 in our list). As before, the collocates are listed in frequency order and grouped by part of speech. In this case, however, note that there is an [ A ] at the end of the entry. This indicates that the lemma hypothesis occurs at least twice as frequently in the Academic genre as it does overall in the corpus (Spoken, Eiction, Magazines, Newspapers).
Thematic vocabulary ("call-out boxes")
Placed throughout the main frequency-based index are 31 "call-out boxes", which serve to display in one list a number of thematically related words. These include thematic lists of words related to the body, food, family, weather, professions, nationalities, colors, emotions, and several other semantic domains. There are also lists of words that are much more common in each of the five main genres (spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, and academic) than overall, as well as comparisons of American and British vocabulary, as well as new words in the language. Finally, there are lists related to word formation issues, such as irregular past tense and irregular plurals, and common suffixes to create nouns, adjectives, and verbs. In each case, the entries are, of course, ordered by frequency.
Alphabetical and part of speech indexes
The alphabetical index contains all of the words listed in the frequency index. Each entry includes the following information: 1) lemma 2) part of speech, and 3) rank order frequency. The part of speech index contains the 5,000 words from the frequency index and the alphabetical index. Within each of the categories (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) the lemma are listed in order of descending frequency. Because each entry is linked to the other two indexes via the rank frequency number, each of the entries in this index contains only the rank frequency and lemma.
Electronic version
As was noted in the first section, if you find this dictionary valuable and would like to have a similar electronic version (somewhat fewer collocates, but more of other features), feel free to visit http://www.americancorpus.org/dictionary.
Delimitations and Notes
1 Frequency is form-based (lemma), not semantically based (homographs—bank, run; heterophones— lead "metal" vs. lead "be in front", contract vs. contract, etc.). But our approach is an improvement over many similar frequency listings because the collocates give some indication of potential variant meanings. For example, take a look at the entries for lead (n) [entry 1605] and bow (n) [entry 4147]. For lead, there are collocates for the two meanings "metal" and "in front" and for bow there are collocates for bow in the context of "ship, arrow, hair, and violin".
Except in the case of high-frequency phrasal verbs, only single-word nodes were included. When a lemma occurs almost exclusively in a given multi-word expression (as far as, in charge of lots of), that multi-word expression is listed as part of the entry.
All collocates are single-word collocates. In cases such as in terms of, byy means of, etc., each of the collocates is listed separately.
The most frequent form of a given collocate lemma may be an inflected form, not the head word form as listed (e.g. long as a collocate of no almost always appears as longer in the corpus).
In general, proper nouns were not included in the dictionary, either as node words or collocates. However, a few highly salient proper noun collocates were included for certain node words (e.g. Iraq as a collocate of invade; China as a collocate of export).

4. Colors
Comments: psychologists and linguists have noted that the more basic color distinctions (light/dark; white/black) and the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) are lexicalized more frequently in languages of the world than secondary colors such as orange or purple. The frequency data for these color terms shows the same tendency.

15. Opposites
The following table shows the frequency of contrasting adjectives. Note that some words have two meanings (hard = "not soft, not easy"; indicated with an asterisk) and so the overall frequency is divided between those two meanings. In addition, alternative pairings could have been made (big and small, rather than big and little). Also, note also that in most cases, the positive adjective is more frequent that the negative one.

16. The vocabulary of spoken English
The nearly 80 million words of spoken English in the Corpus of Contemporary American English come from transcripts of unscripted conversation on radio and television programs such as Oprah, Geraldo, The Today Show, 20/20, All Things Considered, and so on. Searches for phrases such as I guess that, how do you, do you think, I mean, ... you know ....... well..., and ...sure ... do show that the frequency of
these phrases in the spoken portion of Corpus of Contemporary American English is much higher than in the other genres, and so these transcripts do reflect spoken English quite well. However, as can be seen in the following lists, there is still an orientation toward the vocabulary of "media English," which is not perfectly representative of everyday, informal, conversational English.
The following tables show the most frequent words (grouped by part of speech) that are at least three times as common (per million words) in the transcripts of spoken English as in the other four genres, along with the frequency of each lemma (or headword).

The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA: http://www.americancorpus.org
) is the largest balanced corpus of American English, and the British National Corpus (BNC; http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/

Some of the differences in vocabulary in the two dialects are related to culture, society, politics, or current events (e.g. Am Republican, congressional, baseball, Iraqi; Br Tory, parliamentary, Victorian), some are Just different words for the "same" concept (e.g. store/shop, attorney/solicitor, apartment/flat, mom/mum), and some words in COCA (1990-2008) refer to things that are too new to have made it into the pre-1993 BNC (e.g. web, Internet, high-tech, online).

23. Frequency of synonyms
One of the challenges for language learners is knowing how to use synonyms. A typical thesaurus will list several synonyms for a word, but it doesn't give any indication of which are more common, or in which genres they are used (including formal / informal). With the Corpus of Contemporary American English, however, this is quite easy.
For example, the following table is the output from the simple, one-word query [=strong] in the web interface. This table shows the frequency of each synonym of strong in the five main genres of the corpus, as well as the overall frequency for each word. Note that on the web, one would see all 53 synonyms, and that in the web interface they are color-coded for normalized frequency (frequency per million words), so it is very easy to compare the frequency across genres.

Finally, note that in the web interface it is also possible—with just 2-3 clicks of the mouse—to directly query to see which synonyms occur much more in one genre than in another. For example, by comparing the synonyms of strong in Fiction and Academic, one sees that Fiction prefers beefy,burly, strapping, spicy, brawny, pungent, and biting. Academic, on the other hand, prefers effective, deep-seated, compelling, clear-cut, durable, robust, and persuasive.

24. Comparing words
One of the challenges for a language learner is to acquire a sense of the nuances between two related words—where one would be used, but not the other. With the Corpus of Contemporary American English, this is quite easy. Users simply enter the two words, and then the corpus shows which collocates (nearby words) occur with one word but not the other, and vice versa. For example, the following table shows just a fragment of the output for small versus little. We will not explain all of the numbers here, though that explanation is available online. For our purposes, we see that small occurs with business and amount, for example, while little occurs with league and secret.

26. Variation in past tense forms
English has variation with forms of the simple past (he dived/dove into the pool) and past participle (he had proved/proven his point). The variant A in the following tables is the most frequent form in these pairs, and the rightmost column (A+B) shows the total number of tokens for both A and B in the corpus. Note that in some cases, the raw frequency masks semantic differences between the two forms, such as he shined the shoes (transitive) /the sun shone brightly (intransitive).

29. Collective nouns
In English, there are a class of quantifying, collective, and unit nouns that are used to refer to groups of things or people. The following table provides information on which nouns go together most frequently. The list of categories (batch, bunch, etc.) is taken from Biber et al. (1998)Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English (pp. 248-54), but the most frequent collocates (rightmost column) are from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. The number represents the combined frequency of these top five collocates, and it provides some indication of the frequency of the particular quantifying, collective, or unit noun.

30. Phrasal verbs
Phrasal verbs present a problem for non-native speakers in English because these verbs are often so idiomatic. For example, in the following phrases the phrasal verb (bold) does not literally mean out, up, or over: the play turned out well, I didn't make up the answer, they took over the city. The following is a list of the 100 most frequent phrasal verbs in the Corpus of Contemporary American English.
Note that the part of speech tagger does not attempt to separate more literal and more figurative meanings (he looked up the ladder / he looked up several words; she went on a boat / she went on and on), and so the following frequencies include both types of meanings. Note also that these frequencies do not include separated phrasal verbs (pick it up, wake the children up). Finally, note that these are grouped by lemma, so come back = come / comes / came / coming back, etc.

31. Word length (Zipf's Law)
Zipf's Law refers to the natural tendency for common words in the language (e.g. time, get, good) to be shorter than less common words (e.g. reverberation, industrialize, mechanistic). The following table shows this to hold true for our data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. For example, there are about 77.5 million tokens (occurrences) in the 385+ million word corpus that have three letters. This decreases to about 20 million tokens for eight-letter words, and just about 0.7 million tokens for 17-letter words. The table also lists the number of distinct word forms ("types") and the most common words for each word length.

Encyclopedia of the World's Endangered Languages
Christopher Moseley
The concern for the fast-disappearing language stocks of the world has arisen particularly in the past decade, as a result of the impact of globalization. This book appears as an answer to a felt need: to catalogue and describe those languages - making up the vast majority of the world's six thousand or more distinct tongues - which are in danger of disappearing within the next few decades.
Endangerment is a complex issue, and the reasons why so many of the world's smaller, less empowered languages are not currently being passed on to future generations are discussed in the book's introduction. The introduction is followed by regional sections, each authored by a notable specialist, all combining to provide a comprehensive listing of every language which, by the criteria of endangerment set out in the introduction, is likely to disappear within the next few decades. These languages make up ninety per cent of the world's remaining language stocks.
The book therefore provides in a single resource: expert analysis of the current language policy situation in every multilingual country and on every continent, detailed descriptions of little-known languages from all over the world, and clear alphabetical entries, region by region, of all the world's languages currently thought to be in danger of extinction.
The Encyclopedia of the World S Endangered Languages will be a necessary addition to all academic linguistics collections and will be a useful resource for a range of readers with an interest in development studies, cultural heritage, and international affairs.

Origins
A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English
Eric Partridge
This dictionary gives the origins of some 20,000 items from the modern English vocabulary, discussing them in groups that make clear the connections between words derived by a variety of routes from originally common stock. As well as giving the answers to questions about the derivation of individual words, it is a fascinating book to browse through, since every page points out links with other entries. It is easy to pursue such trails as the longer articles are written as continuous prose clearly divided up by means of numbered paragraphs and subheadings, and there is a careful system of cross-references. In addition to the main A-Z listing, there are extensive lists of prefixes, suffixes, and elements used in the creation of new vocabulary.
