Word Frequencies and Bigrams in Bahasa Melayu
註釋This paper reports on some preliminary findings on word frequency in the MALEX database. The most frequent words are described, attention being paid to the position of content words in the frequency list. Nouns emerge as the most problematic category, since they tend to be related to a particular set of genres, or even to a particular text. Bigrams are studied both as sequences of individual words and as sequences of grammatical tags. Whereas the tag sequences reflect syntactic rules and thus the hierarchical structure of syntax, sequences of individual words reflect quite a different kind of linear structure which has begun to emerge in recent years in corpus linguistics.
