Sample text

Z Gunzip is a popular and open source decompression utility. org/. Z file and rename the file, for use with this script, “OMIM”. You do not need to use the OMIM file. Feel free to substitute any plaintext file you prefer, changing the file name within the script, of course. Parse through the file, line by line. For each line, split the line wherever a sequence of one or more spaces is encountered, and put the resulting line fragments into an array. This has the effect of producing an array of the individual words in the line.

The script executed in about 20 seconds, creating an output file containing about 168,000 different words, and the number of times each word occurred within the text. Here is a short sampling of the output file: kidney—7449 kidneys—928 kido—33 kidoguchi—1 kidokoro—1 kidon—2 kidou—1 kidouchi—4 kidowaki—1 kidron—2 kidson—16 Most languages contain between 20,000 and 60,000 words. , soft, softer, softest, soften, softens, softening, softener), orthographic variants (advertise, advertize), obsolete or denigrated variants (publicly and publically), technical words, slang, or proper names.

6 Making a Word List with Occurrence Tally Sometimes, you need to have a listing of all the different words in a document, and the number of occurrences of each word. A word frequency list tells you a lot about a document. Simple books tend to have a limited number of different words (a few thousand). Books written for advanced readers tend to have a large number of different words (20,000 or more). Word frequency lists can characterize the subject matter of a document, and can sometimes identify the author.
