The List of the Wordforms of the Basic Lexemes of the Mongolian Language: a Short Direct Alphabetic Frequency Lexeme Dictionary of Wordforms with Categorical Semantic Markup

Abstract

The article contains a concise frequency ranking dictionary of Mongolian word forms ― a list representing a basic vocabulary of modern Mongolian. The General Corpus of Modern Mongolian (Rus. GKMYa) served as a source of data to calculate frequencies of respective word forms. A most distinctive feature of the dictionary is that the introduced items have been structured categorially and semantically. The latter shall contribute to resolve further typological tasks with respect to world languages, i. e., it is reckoned to secure potential typological compatibility of the dictionary with similarly structured dictionaries of other languages. The work is based on principles of quantitative Mongolistics developed by the author in a number of preceding papers. So, the article provides 454 basic modern Mongolian word forms applied within GKMYa1a, the absolute frequency of use exceeding 255 ipm and the relative one exceeding 220 ipm respectively. The ranking dictionary of word forms is represented in the form of a table structured acc. to decreasing values of parameter VIII (and increasing values of parameter IX respectively).
