A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary American English: word
sketches, collocates, and thematic lists 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. A CD version is available to purchase separately.
Designed for use by corpus and computational linguists it provides
the full text in a format that researchers can process and turn
into suitable lists for their own research work._
