The Zeno frequency files are in /group/language/zeno
The file ZenoWordFreqs.txt contains the main word frequency listing from the Zeno norms. The documentation and CD is in the library. (Filed under Tests as "The Educator's Word Frequency Guide").
NOTE: this is copyrighted. YOU MUST NOT GIVE THIS TO ANYBODY OUTSIDE THE UNIT, OR TAKE A COPY WITH YOU IF YOU LEAVE.
tip: if you want to pull out words with a particular number of letters and frequency range you can do it with an awk script like this (entered from the unix command line)
gawk '{if((length($1) >= 1 && length($1) <= 5) && ($2 >= 2 && $2 <= 50)) print $0}' < ZenoWordFreqs.txtthis says: give me all the words between 1 and 5 letters long that also have a frequency between 2 & 50. It shouldn't be too much of a challenge to work out how to change the ranges!
