Entitled 'Quantitative Analysis of Culture Using Millions of Digitized Books', the article contains a set of exercises in 'Culturomics', which is the area of research that utilizes the Google corpus of over five million digitized books. Two of the studies are linguistic in nature and involve the size of the English lexicon and the evolution of English irregular verbs. The journal is available in nearly all research libraries and many general libraries in the US. Members of the AAAS can read the article online at: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/331/6014/176.full Non-members may also access the article through free registration as guests.
