WIP: Vulgate word frequency list

Postby ros » Tue Aug 30, 2022 12:57 am

I've been wanting to use Anki to work on vocabulary during work breaks throughout the day, and while looking into resources for making decks I came across the idea of using word frequency lists to learn the most common words. I've been wanting to expand my theological Latin vocabulary, so I thought to use the Vulgate, but I didn't find much in the way of frequency lists, and the ones I did find contained every inflected form of every word. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I found that there was some demand for a list of only the base words.

I spent a few hours this past weekend (and one or two today) working on one: https://sourceforge.net/p/vulgate-frequency-list/code/ci/master/tree/.

If you just want to see the list, the output text file is version controlled along with the code and source file. As of this writing, the parsing module is able to eliminate a little over 59% of the inflected word list, so hopefully this simplifies studying the vocabulary for anyone interested.
