BNCcomparison

This data set compares the frequencies of 60 selected nouns in the
 written and spoken parts of the British National Corpus, World Edition
 (BNC). Nouns were chosen from three frequency bands, namely the 20
 most frequent nouns in the corpus, 20 nouns with approximately 1000
 occurrences, and 20 nouns with approximately 100 occurrences.
See Aston &amp; Burnard (1998) for more information about the BNC, or go
