Qs: Frequent Disyllabic Words in Spoken Japanese

Editor for this issue: Kevin Burrows <kevinlinguistlist.org>

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Frequent Disyllabic Words in Spoken Japanese


Dear Linguist List,

We are doing cross-cultural research on rhythm in speech and music. As
part of this work, we are trying to obtain a list of the most frequent
disyllabic words from corpora of spontaneous Japanese and American English
speech. For English, we have been able to get a list of the 50 most common
disyllabic words from the Switchboard corpus (along with their
frequencies).

However, we have not been able to find a comparable corpus
of spontaneous Japanese speech from which we can extract the 50 most common
disyllabic Japanese words.

If anyone can point us to a resource that we could use, we would be most
grateful.

Thanks,
Ani Patel
