This completely updated edition of A Frequency Dictionary of German
contains the 5,000 most commonly used words of German today, occurring
in a 20 million word corpus (compared to a 4.2 million corpus in the
first edition). The basis of the frequency list is a significantly
extended version of the Herder/BYU Corpus of Contemporary German. The
Dictionary contains spoken and written German, and represents
different genres, text types, registers, styles, and also regional
varieties.
The corpus is designed to represent the current German language as it is
used in real world. Useful as a reference for students and course
designers alike, A Frequency Dictionary of German is an important new
resource.
This CD version has been specifically designed for use by corpus and
computational linguists. It provides the frequency corpus in a
tab-delimited format allowing you the flexibility to process the
material for your own research purposes, while the Dictionary provides
a rich resource for language teaching and curriculum design.
