Journal ArticleDOI
Moving beyond Kučera and Francis: A critical evaluation of current word frequency norms and the introduction of a new and improved word frequency measure for American English
Marc Brysbaert,Boris New +1 more
TL;DR: The size of the corpus, the language register on which the corpus is based, and the definition of the frequency measure were investigated, finding that lemma frequencies are not superior to word form frequencies in English and that a measure of contextual diversity is better than a measure based on raw frequency of occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Norms of valence, arousal, and dominance for 13,915 English lemmas
TL;DR: This work extended the ANEW database to nearly 14,000 English lemmas, providing researchers with a much richer source of information, including gender, age, and educational differences in emotion norms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Concreteness ratings for 40 thousand generally known English word lemmas
TL;DR: A comparison with the existing concreteness norms indicates that participants, as before, largely focused on visual and haptic experiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-of-acquisition ratings for 30,000 English words
TL;DR: This megastudy presents age-of-acquisition ratings for 30,121 English content words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives) using the Web-based crowdsourcing technology offered by the Amazon Mechanical Turk to indicate that the ratings collected are as valid and reliable as those collected in laboratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
SUBTLEX-UK: A new and improved word frequency database for British English
TL;DR: A new measure of word frequency, the Zipf scale, is introduced, which the authors hope will stop the current misunderstandings of the word frequency effect.
