Brown: Brown Corpus Frequency Data (zipfR)

Description

Brown.tfl, Brown.spc and Brown.emp.vgc are zipfR objects of classes tfl, spc and vgc, respectively.

These data were extracted from the Brown corpus (see Kucera and Francis 1967).

Details

Brown.emp.vgc is the empirical vocabulary growth curve, reflecting the V and V(1) development in the non-randomized corpus.

We removed numbers and other forms of non-linguistic material before collecting word counts from the Brown.
