The paper examines the implications of the Longman Communication 3000 word list for the teaching of English pronunciation at university level. In particular, I examine to what extent selected university curricula in France teach the pronunciation of this minimum of words and what modifications might be suggested to better serve the needs of students in equipping them with the pronunciation of contemporary, current vocabulary. It will be shown that this word list offers a wide range of useful examples to illustrate phonological phenomena, but teachers of English pronunciation/phonology might need to consider, for expository purposes, examples other than those found in standard handbooks of English phonology. I will show that using Longman Communication 3000 does not compromise the teaching of English phonology in any way, nor does it restrict the vocabulary to be taught. Quite the contrary, I am simply suggesting a conscious approximation of what is phonologically interesting/important to what is to be taught first.

The objective of this paper is to verify if Google Books Ngram Viewer, a new tool working on a database of 361 billion words in English, and enabling quick recovery of data on word frequency in a diachronic perspective, is indeed valuable to socio-cultural research as suggested by its creators (Michel et al. 2010), i.e. the Cultural Observatory, Harvard University, Encyclopaedia Britannica, the American Heritage Dictionary, and Google. In the paper we introduce a study performed by Greenfield (2013), who applies the program to her Ecological Analysis, and contrast the findings with a study based on similar premises, in which we follow the trends in changes in word frequency throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to observe if these changes correspond to one of the major socio-cultural transformations that took place in the studied period, i.e. mediatization. The results of this study open a discussion on the usefulness of the program in socio-cultural research.

This paper analyzed word recognition in two patterns of Chinese characters, cross referenced with word frequency. The patterns were defined as uni-part (semantic radical/component only) and bi-part (including the phonetic radical/component and the semantic radical/component) characters. The interactions of semantic and phonological access in both patterns were inspected. It was observed that in the naming task and the pronunciation-matching task, the subject performance involving the uni-part characters showed longer RT than the bi-part characters. However, with the lexical decision and meaning-matching tasks the uni-part characters showed shorter RT than the bi-part characters. It was also observed that the frequency, which is regarded as a lexical variable, displayed a strong influence. This suggests that Chinese characters require lexical access in all tasks. This study also suggested that the phonological process is primary in visual word recognition; as there is a significant phonological effect in processing the Chinese bi-part characters, resulting in either the facilitation or inhibition of phonology due to the differing demands of the two tasks

Noun distribution in natural languages

Previous research on word class distribution claimed that 37% of word tokens are nouns, suggesting that there might exist a certain regularity of noun proportion among human languages. To explore this possibility, we examined the proportion of noun and four other word classes within British and American English, and across seven languages in terms of different word frequency band. Results indicated that the noun proportion is evidently about or larger than 37%, and meanwhile increases with word rarity. Among frequent words, nouns increase as minor word classes decrease, whereas among rare words, the noun proportion remains a stable level.

Статья посвящена избранной лексике русского и польского языков, частотность употребления которой в современных текстах возрастает. Автор исследования обращает внимание на разные отношения между языком и действительностью: язык как отражение действительности, язык как инструмент ее интерпретации и создания. В статье рассматриваются такие пары слов, как вызов / wyzwanie, хаб / hub, гуманитарный / humanitarny, гибридный / hybrydowy, cлово абьюз, дериваты с компонентом кибер и их польские эквиваленты, а также коллокации.

The aim of this article is to present a selected lexis of Russian and Polish languages, which is increasingly used in contemporary texts. The author of the study pays attention to the various relations between language and reality: language as a reflection of reality, language as a tool for its interpretation and creation. The paper discusses such pairs of words as вызов / wyzwanie, хаб / hub, гуманитарный / humanitarny, гибридный / hybrydowy, the word абьюз, derivatives with the component кибер and their Polish equivalents, as well as collocations.
