3. Key aspects in Linguistics
How were Dictionaries organized?
The use of computers and data base.
Corpus (corpora)
Two principles of organization:
Relationship between words (Word lists, families,
Concordance, collocation)
Frequency of word families
The grammar of Written and Spoken
English
The most frequent word in Sp English and
in Written English

4. Lexical Tutor > Tutorial Guide
You can use this site to expand your English vocabulary systematically
(and your French vocabulary too). The site has a set of diagnostic
vocabulary tests, and a corresponding set of vocabulary lists linked to
concordance, dictionary, and quizzes to help you explore the nuances of
form, meaning, and collocation of the words on these lists. Here's one way
to proceed:
Test yourself to determine your areas of vocabulary weakness.
Go to the Learn from Lists pages and find the level which you are weak in
(note that only 1000, 2000, and University Word lists are available, not
3000, 5000, or 10,000).
Work your way through the list with the aid of the dictionary and
concordance. Develop an approach that suits you--make notes, cut and
paste examples and definitions to the Group Lex Database provided, or
one on your own computer. Also, a set of progress tests is linked to the
the 2000 and UWL lists at roughly 250-word intervals.

5. Lexical Tutor > Tutorial Guide
If you do not like learning from lists, or want to learn more about new
words by meeting them in other contexts, then you can paste
complete authentic texts into VP Cloze, which will make you
exercises for words from the frequency band you are working on.
Or, if you want to work outside the frequency framework altogether,
but not entirely independently, then you can read a novel (Jack
London's Call of the Wild or de Maupassant's Boule de Suif) with full
click-on lexical support. - or make your own resource-supported
texts at Hypertext Builder
The 1000, 2000, and University Word Lists contain words you need to
know - read the research page to learn why.
