Ibrahim Rubama, Murray S. Miron, Charles C. Pratt · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1973
The report is a frequency analysis of vocabulary and sentence patterns in the Swahili language. The corpora used are a media sample, a discussion session, elicited sentences, and words elicited for frame sentences. The outputs are the following frequency tables: (a) semantic frequency of combined corpus (media, discussion, elicited sentences) listed alphabetically with inflectional and derivational variants as subentries; (b) semantic frequency of combined corpus listed by frequency; (c) sentence pattern frequency from corpus of elicited sentences; (d) H-ranks and phi-coefficients for corpus of elicited words.
