Creating a word list
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Download the corpus from [google ngram][googlengram] with:
|
|
|
|
for a in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do
|
|
wget http://storage.googleapis.com/books/ngrams/books/googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-$a.gz;
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
[googlengram]: http://storage.googleapis.com/books/ngrams/books/datasetsv2.html
|
|
|
|
then you can filter the words like this:
|
|
|
|
for L in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do
|
|
gzcat googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-$L.gz | python ngram-filter.py > googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-$L-filtered;
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
To get a list of the top 300 words:
|
|
|
|
sort -n googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-*-filtered | tail -n 300
|
|
|
|
To create the wordlist used by `These3Words` run:
|
|
|
|
sort -n googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-*-filtered | python normalise-words.py | sort | uniq | tail -n32768 > google-ngram-list
|
|
|
|
Check that your list is long enough by counting the lines
|
|
in `google-ngram-list`, you need exactly 32768 words |
