Word tokens
Register-neutral words
Words whose frequency barely moves between corpora — as common in cookbooks as in scripture or science writing. The complement of the corpus vocabulary page.
Ranked by the standard deviation of a word's Zipf value across
all 19 corpora.
Spread is the plain-language version: the gap between the corpus that
uses the word least and the one that uses it most, in Zipf — 0.30 means the
extremes differ by a factor of two.
