The mathematicians that study language and have lots of computing power are forming English language databases. These databases can be used for machine language translation, formulas to rank collocation, most used priority word lists, word grouping tendencies and other linguistics research.
These frequency-based wordlists contain the words that are most used by English writers. Frequency-based wordlists can help you target specific English vocabulary by indicating which words you should try to learn first.
Vocabulary analysis and summaries from the "Brown Corpus".
Table 1
Words - Percent of words in average English language written text
86,741 43,831 15,851 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 10 | 99.99% 99.0% 97.8% 89.9% 88.6% 86.7% 84.0% 79.7% 72.0% 23.7% |
Table 1 shows us that 10 words account for 23.7 % of all the words on almost all English language written pages and just 1000 word families account for more than 70% of all the words used.
The ESL in Canada English Immersion camps experimented with the 1000 word lists and used them for the core vocabulary for spelling, poetry writing and public speaking contests. The constant reinforcement and repetition with variable context was quickly absorbed by the beginner students and greatly increased their confidence when speaking or writing.
