Text corpora such as the International Corpus of English are enormous collections of electronically stored texts that can be used for empirical testing of hypotheses regarding the frequency of typical word usage. For example, a linguist who assumes that the word “last” is in written English could find evidence supporting that assumption in a corpus: “last” is the fourth most commonly used adjective.
