SOME PROPERTIES OF THE FREQUENCY STRUCTURE OF CROATIAN LEXIS
Željko Bujas
; Zagreb
Abstract
Using two existing rank lists of Croatian, based on limited-size corpora of general texts (by I. Furlan) and of newspaper articles (by Z. Šojat), this paper offers a comparative analysis of the core vocabularies (100 top-frequency items) provided by the two lists. Several laws governing the lexical structure of Croatian are determined and discussed, with parallels to English and Russian lexis pointed out. Attention is also drawn to the cultural-anthropological and stylistic relevance of some properties of the frequency structure of Croatian core vocabulary.
