It includes the F.F.1 list with 1,500 high-frequency words, completed by a later F.F.2 list with 1,700 mid-frequency words, and the most used syntax rules. [11] It is claimed that 70 grammatical words constitute 50% of the communicatives sentence, [12] [13] while 3,680 words make about 95~98% of coverage. [14] A list of 3,000 frequent words is ...
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 ...
The California Job Case was a compartmentalized box for printing in the 19th century, sizes corresponding to the commonality of letters. The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician al-Kindi (c. 801–873 AD), who formally developed the method (the ciphers breakable by this technique go ...
The following list illustrates various frequencies, measured in hertz, according to decade in the order of their magnitudes, with the negative decades illustrated by events and positive decades by acoustic or electromagnetic uses. Factor. (Hz) Multiple. Value. Item. 10 −18. 1 attohertz (aHz) ~2.2978 aHz.
Electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light ...
A plot of the frequency of each word as a function of its frequency rank for two English language texts: Culpeper's Complete Herbal (1652) and H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds (1898) in a log-log scale. The dotted line is the ideal law y ∝ 1/x.
In physics, acoustics, and telecommunications, a harmonic is a sinusoidal wave with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of a periodic signal. The fundamental frequency is also called the 1st harmonic; the other harmonics are known as higher harmonics. As all harmonics are periodic at the fundamental ...
In speech science and phonetics, a formant is the broad spectral maximum that results from an acoustic resonance of the human vocal tract. [1][2] In acoustics, a formant is usually defined as a broad peak, or local maximum, in the spectrum. [3][4] For harmonic sounds, with this definition, the formant frequency is sometimes taken as that of the ...
