Some Common Word Attributes and Their Relations to Objective Frequency Counts
Backman, Jarl
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 20, 4, 175-86, 76
Studies the relationship between subjective word frequency and some of the most common word attributes, familiarity, associability and pronounciability, all measured with the method of magnitude estimation. Also considers how individuals scale words in terms of comprehensibility and at the same time how this dimension is related to the other attributes and objective frequency. (Author/RK)
