Many recent models of language comprehension have stressed the role of distributional frequencies in determining the relative accessibility or ease of processing associated with a particular lexical item or sentence structure. However, there exist relatively few comprehensive analyses of structural frequencies, and little consideration has been given to the appropriateness of using any particular set of corpus frequencies in modeling human language. We provide a comprehensive set of structural frequencies for a variety of written and spoken corpora, focusing on structures that have played a critical role in debates on normal psycholinguistics, aphasia, and child language acquisition, and compare our results with those from several recent papers to illustrate the implications and limitations of using corpus data in psycholinguistic research.

基本英语语法结构的频率：语料库分析

许多最近的语言理解模型都强调了分布频率在确定与特定词汇项或句子结构相关的相对可访问性或易处理性方面的作用。然而，对结构频率的综合分析相对较少，并且很少考虑使用任何特定语料库频率集来模拟人类语言的适当性。我们为各种书面和口语语料库提供了一套全面的结构频率，重点关注在关于正常心理语言学、失语症和儿童语言习得的辩论中发挥关键作用的结构，并将我们的结果与最近几篇论文的结果进行比较说明在心理语言学研究中使用语料库数据的影响和局限性。
