Chapter: Comparison of the KVL with Frequency Lists
Blurb:
In chapter 7, various statistical explorations of the data compare KVL results with existing frequency lists. A specific examination is made of individual lemmas that intuitively appeared mis-ranked. Findings demonstrate why the KVL add unique value for pedagogical purposes. Comparisons drawn across the three language groups suggest that the L1 and/or the L1 context play an influential role as to whether a learner is likely to know certain words.
