frequency dictionaries, lexical statistics, diatopic distribution of the lexiconAbstract
The article aims to summarize the most important features of the frequency dictionary based on CORPES (v. 10) data published by the Real Academia Española in 2024, with version 1.1 of the corpus. In addition to providing the structure of the two components of this resource, we briefly analyze some of the consequences that can be deduced from the data obtained and highlight the advantages of a frequency dictionary conceived and developed in electronic format.
