This book has been written for vocabulary researchers and curriculum designers to describe the factors they need to consider when they create frequency-based word lists. These include the purpose for which the word list is to be used, the design of the corpus from which the list will be made, the unit of counting, and what should and should not be counted as words. The book draws on research to show the current state of knowledge of these factors and provides very practical guidelines for making word lists for language teaching and testing. The writer is well known for his work in the teaching and learning of vocabulary and in the creation of word lists and vocabulary size tests based on word lists. 606 $aVocabulary$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLanguage learning and language teaching 615 0$aVocabulary$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLanguage learning and language teaching. 676 $a428.0071 700 $aNation$b I.
