Words characteristic of wiki_linguistics

Word frequency data from Wikipedia Level 5 language articles

Ranked by Zipf delta: how much more common a word is here than its average across the 18 other corpora (19th_books, 20th_books, wiki_math, wiki_geography, wiki_biology, wiki_modern_life, wiki_arts, wiki_society, wiki_physical_science, wiki_history, early_modern_science, religious_translated, cooking, legal_scotus, eu_parliament_debates, openstax_science, openstax_society, wpa_life_histories). +1.00 means ten times as common here. The ranks beside it say the same thing in readable terms — they are not used for sorting, because the corpora are different sizes and rank 500 does not mean the same thing in each.
