The Hanbook of Contemporary Syntactic Theory

This Handbook provides a comprehensive view of the current issues in contemporary syntactic theory.

Written by an international assembly of leading specialists in the field, the 23 original articles in this Handbook serve as a comprehensive and useful reference for various areas of grammar. The chapters include analyses of non-configurational languages, a crosslinguistic comparison of important grammatical features that interface with semantics, discussions from the perspective of learnability theory, a discussion of thematic relations, and comparisons of derivational and representational approaches to grammar.

These cutting-edge articles, combined with the editors' informative introduction and an extensive bibliography, grant readers the greatest access to the field of natural language syntax today.

English Words Frequency List
by Adam Kilgarriff
Список из 6318 слов без перевода, расположенных в порядке «от частого к редкому».
Рядом с каждым словом указана часть речи. Слова с двойным упортреблением (существительное и глагол) указаны в спике 2 раза, один раз как существительное, второй раз как глагол. Автор списка и методики - Adam Kilgarriff. Эта методика рассчета частотности использовалась при составлении Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English , 3rd edition.
There is a lemmatised frequency list for the 6,318 words with more than 800 occurrences in the whole 100M-word BNC. The definition of a 'word' approximates to a headword in an EFL dictionary such as Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English: so, eg, nominal and verbal "help" are listed separately, and the count for verbal "help" is the sum of counts for verbal 'help', 'helps', 'helping', 'helped'.
