Evaluating lists of high-frequency words
ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2016This study compared the lexical coverage provided by four wordlists [West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL), Nation’s (2006) most frequent 2,000 British National Corpus word families (BNC2000), Nation’s (2012) most frequent 2,000 British National Corpus and Corpus of Contemporary American-English word families (BNC/COCA2000), and Brezina and ...

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
A simpler model is proposed for estimating the frequency of any same-frequency words and identifying the boundary point between high-frequency words and low-frequency words in a text. The model, based on a maximum ranking method, assigns ranks to the words and estimates word frequency by the formula: Int[(-1 + (1 + 4D/I n+1 ) 1/2 )/2] > n * ≥ Int[(-1 +

Primary Children's Recognition of High-Frequency Words
The Elementary School Journal, 1972The value of the widely used Dolch List has been challenged. Johnson has questioned the list. It was constructed from studies done in the 1920's and has not been updated, though almost half a century has passed since the list was compiled. (1). The vocabulary of the English language changes. The frequency with which certain words are used changes.

The recognition potential and the word frequency effect at a high rate of word presentation
Cognitive Brain Research, 1999The short latency of the recognition potential (RP) suggests that it might be evoked at a high rate, which could speed noise reduction through averaging. Words were presented at 800 ms intervals. Mean RP latency for 16 subjects was 266 ms for high and 292 ms for low frequency words. The difference was statistically significant.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS IN ENGLISH LEARNING
2021The article discusses the study of foreign languages English, which is one of the most pressing issues today. It is no secret that memorizing words is the most effective way to learn a foreign language. The scientific work is devoted to this area of language learning, and a new approach the most important of the new words being studied, that is, the ...

The Visual “Confusability” of High-frequency Words
Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1977This study examines the visual “confusability” of selected high-frequency words. Beginning readers were presented 120 words in a match-to-sample task in an attempt to provide data on the relative discriminability of each. The results indicate these young subjects had mastered this task to a high level of proficiency.

Frequency-Importance Functions for Words in High- and Low-Context Sentences
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1992The relative importance and absolute contributions of various spectral regions to speech intelligibility under conditions of either neutral or predictable sentential context were examined. Specifically, the frequency-importance functions for a set of monosyllabic words embedded in a highly predictive sentence context versus a sentence with little ...

On the Loss of High-Frequency Function Words
Journal of Germanic Linguistics, 2013The loss of high-frequency function words is puzzling. Although they form part of core grammar—and, in some cases, have done so for thousands of years—some function words seem to just suddenly disappear. While the grammaticalization of content words into function words correlates with increase in usage, the loss of high-frequency function words cannot ...

Event-related potentials and the recollection of low and high frequency words
Neuropsychologia, 1995A recognition memory test was conducted in which low and high frequency words were initially presented in one of two different study tasks. A word was defined as recollected if, at test, it was both confidently judged 'old', and confidently assigned to its correct study context.

Small but Efficient: The Misconception of High- Frequency Words in Scandinavian Translation
2000Machine translation has proved itself to be easier between languages that are closely related, such as German and English, while far apart languages, such as Chinese and English, encounter much more problems. The present study focuses upon Swedish and Norwegian; two languages so closely related that they would be referred to as dialects if it were not ...
