About This Book
A Frequency Dictionary of Russian is an invaluable tool for all learners of Russian, providing a list of the 5, 000 most frequently used words in the language and the 300 most frequent multiword constructions.
The dictionary is based on data from a 150-million-word internet corpus taken from more than 75, 000 webpages and covering a range of text types from news and journalistic articles, research papers, administrative texts and fiction.
All entries in the rank frequency list feature the English equivalent, a sample sentence with English translation, a part of speech indication, indication of stress for polysyllabic words and information on inflection for irregular forms.
The dictionary also contains twenty-six thematically organised and frequency-ranked lists of words on a variety of topics, such as food and drink, travel, and sports and leisure.
A Frequency Dictionary of Russian enables students of all levels to get the most out of their study of vocabulary in an engaging and efficient way. It is also a rich resource for language teaching, research, curriculum design, and materials development.
Former CD content is now available to access at www.routledge.com/9780415521420 as support material. Designed for use by corpus and computational linguists it provides the full text in a format that researchers can process and turn into suitable lists for their own research purposes.
