Most common word in text

Studies that estimate and rank the most common words in English examine texts written in English. Perhaps the most comprehensive such analysis is one that was conducted against the Oxford English Corpus (OEC), a massive text corpus that is written in the English language.

In total, the texts in the Oxford English Corpus contain more than 2 billion words.[1] The OEC includes a wide variety of writing samples, such as literary works, novels, academic journals, newspapers, magazines, Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates, blogs, chat logs, and emails.[2]

Another English corpus that has been used to study word frequency is the Brown Corpus, which was compiled by researchers at Brown University in the 1960s. The researchers published their analysis of the Brown Corpus in 1967. Their findings were similar, but not identical, to the findings of the OEC analysis.

According to The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists, the first 25 words in the OEC make up about one-third of all printed material in English, and the first 100 words make up about half of all written English.[3] According to a study cited by Robert McCrum in The Story of English, all of the first hundred of the most common words in English are of Old English origin,[4] except for «people», ultimately from Latin «populus», and «because», in part from Latin «causa».

Some lists of common words distinguish between word forms, while others rank all forms of a word as a single lexeme (the form of the word as it would appear in a dictionary). For example, the lexeme be (as in to be) comprises all its conjugations (is, was, am, are, were, etc.), and contractions of those conjugations.[5] These top 100 lemmas listed below account for 50% of all the words in the Oxford English Corpus.[1]

100 most common words

A list of 100 words that occur most frequently in written English is given below, based on an analysis of the Oxford English Corpus (a collection of texts in the English language, comprising over 2 billion words).[1] A part of speech is provided for most of the words, but part-of-speech categories vary between analyses, and not all possibilities are listed. For example, «I» may be a pronoun or a Roman numeral; «to» may be a preposition or an infinitive marker; «time» may be a noun or a verb. Also, a single spelling can represent more than one root word. For example, «singer» may be a form of either «sing» or «singe». Different corpora may treat such difference differently.

The number of distinct senses that are listed in Wiktionary is shown in the polysemy column. For example, «out» can refer to an escape, a removal from play in baseball, or any of 36 other concepts. On average, each word in the list has 15.38 senses. The sense count does not include the use of terms in phrasal verbs such as «put out» (as in «inconvenienced») and other multiword expressions such as the interjection «get out!», where the word «out» does not have an individual meaning.[6] As an example, «out» occurs in at least 560 phrasal verbs[7] and appears in nearly 1700 multiword expressions.[8]

The table also includes frequencies from other corpora. Note that as well as usage differences, lemmatisation may differ from corpus to corpus – for example splitting the prepositional use of «to» from the use as a particle. Also the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) list includes dispersion as well as frequency to calculate rank.

Ученые языковеды утверждают, что в английском языке порядка миллиона слов. Словарный запас взрослого носителя языка составляет от 10 000 до 30 000 слов — фантастическое количество для начинающих изучать язык. Но не впадаем в отчаяние. Исследования показывают, что всего лишь 300 самых часто употребляемых слов помогут вам понимать более 50% текста (кроме специализированной и научной литературы) и выражать свои мысли.

Для вашего удобства мы разбили подборку на подгруппы, в которые вошли по 50 слов разных частей речи. К каждому слову указали значения, в которых они употребляются наиболее часто. Для составления подборки мы использовали следующие источники:

  • British National Corpus

ТОП-50 существительных

ТОП-50 наречий

Наречие (adverb) — это часть речи, которая дает дополнительную информацию о действии: как произошло, когда, где. Оно чаще всего характеризует сказуемое, а также может описывать и давать дополнительную информацию о других членах предложения. Наречия помогут вам объяснить, как и где произошли события, выдать оценочное суждение, привлечь внимание более ярким и точным описанием.

Сразу оговорим, в первой колонке глаголы приведены в инфинитиве (начальной форме), а в предложении могут стоять в форме определенного грамматического времени.

A research has found that there are 570 words which form the basis of academic English. These words and their variations are the most important English words which have to be understood for a proper comprehension of academic English.

The Academic Word List, a list of 570 headwords, was published by the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 2000. The words in the Academic Word List came from a research based on academic texts from 28 different subject areas. These are the highest-frequency words in any academic text. In other words, they are the most common words in academic English.

In general, if you are reading or listening to academic topics (like the reading passages in IELTS or PTE tests), 10 percent of the words will be from this list.

That means, unless you know the meaning of the words in the list, you would not be able to understand one out of every ten words in academic English.

Alternately, you should learn to use these around 500 most important English words in your own writing or speaking to boost your vocabulary score.

In the Academic World List, the 570 most important English words have been divided into 10 sublists according to frequency of use.

The words below a headword are derivatives of that word.

Words in italics are the most common words in any word family.
