    Most common words in English

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Jump to: navigation, search

    The list below of most common words in English, like any superlative list, cannot be definitive. It is based on an analysis of the
    Oxford English Corpus of over a billion words, and represents one study done by Oxford Online, associated with the Oxford English
    Dictionary.[1] This source includes writings of all sorts from "literary novels and specialist journals to everyday newspapers and
    magazines and from Hansard to the language of chatrooms, emails, and weblogs",[2] unlike some sources which use texts from only
    specific sources.[3]

    The Reading Teachers Book of Lists claims that the first 25 words make up about one-third of all printed material in English, and that
    the first 100 make up about one-half of all written material.[4]

    Note that the items listed may represent more than one actual word; they are lemmas. For instance the entry "be" contains within it
    the occurrences of "is", "was", "be" and "are".[5] Note also that these top 100 lemmas listed below account for 50% of all the words in
    the Oxford English Corpus.[1]
