This site contains what is probably the
most accurate
word
frequency data for English. The first set of wordlists are
based on the the 14 billion word
iWeb
corpus -- one of only three corpora from the Web that
are 10 billion words in size or larger (and the only such corpus
with carefully-corrected wordlists). The second set of
wordlists are based on the
Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA)
(now 560 million words in size), which is the largest genre-balanced
corpus of English. In addition to word frequency data, you can also
download n-grams
and collocates
from both iWeb and COCA.
