Question

If you were to introduce yourself as a Filipino to a

person of another nationality and he or she asks, “Who

are Filipinos?,” what will you reply?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is so far the procedure I was trying upon and then I couldn't fix it

As per my understanding:

- lexical frequencies, that is, the frequencies with which correspondences occur in a dictionary or, as here, in a word list;

- lexical frequency is the frequency with which the correspondence occurs when you count all and only the correspondences in a dictionary.

- text frequencies, that is, the frequencies with which correspondences occur in a large corpus.

- text frequency is the frequency with which a correspondence occurs when you count all the correspondences in a large set of pieces of continuous prose ...;

You will see that lexical frequency produces much lower counts than text frequency because in lexical frequency each correspondence is counted only once per word in which it occurs, whereas text frequency counts each correspondence multiple times, depending on how often the words in which it appears to occur.

When referring to the frequency of occurrence, two different frequencies are used: type and token. Type frequency counts a word once.

So I understand that probably lexical frequencies deal with types counting the words once and text frequencies deal with tokens counting the words multiple times in a corpus, therefore for the last, we need to take into account the word frequency in which those phonemes and graphemes occur.

So far I managed phoneme frequencies as it follows

Phoneme frequencies:

Lexical frequency is: (single count of a phoneme per word/total number of counted phonemes in the word list)*100= Lexical Frequency % of a specific phoneme in the word list.

Text frequency is similar but then I fail when trying to add the frequencies of the words in the word list: (all counts of a phoneme per word/total number of counted phonemes in the word list)*100 vs (sum of the word frequencies of the targeted words that contain the phoneme/total sum of all the frequencies of all the words in the list)= Text Frequency % of a specific phoneme in the word list.
