Abstract Recent studies on linguistics, cognitive science and psychology have shown that describing lexical frequency characteristics can answer many critical questions on language acquisition, mental lexicon and language use. Given the importance of corpus-based methodology, this study reports the preliminary findings from the objective lexical frequency list in TİD based on 103.087 sign tokens. This paper shows that frequency occurrence has a very decisive role on the linguistics categories and language in use. With respect to the multi-functionality of pointing in signed languages, the top ranked ID-gloss occurrences are mostly shaped by the pronominal references. Moreover, when compared to previous studies in terms of lexical density and lexical diversity, TİD shares both similar and different statistical features observed in other signed languages.

摘要 最近对语言学、认知科学和心理学的研究表明，描述词汇频率特征可以回答许多关于语言习得、心理词汇和语言使用的关键问题。鉴于基于语料库的方法的重要性，本研究报告了基于 103.087 个符号标记的 TİD 中客观词汇频率列表的初步发现。本文表明，频率出现对语言学类别和使用的语言具有非常决定性的作用。关于手势语言的多功能性，排名靠前的 ID-gloss 出现主要由代词参考形成。此外，与以往在词汇密度和词汇多样性方面的研究相比，
