    Routledge has initiated a new series of corpus-based frequency
    dictionaries. The editors for this series are Paul Rayson (Lancaster)
    and Mark Davies (BYU).

    In late 2005, the first two books in this series were published:

    German (Jones/Tschirner):
    http://www.routledge.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?sku=&
    isbn=9780415316330&parent_id=&pc=/shopping_cart/search/search.asp?search
    %3Dfrequency%2Bdictionary

    Spanish (Davies):
    http://www.routledge.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?sku=&
    isbn=9780415334297&parent_id=&pc=/shopping_cart/search/search.asp?search
    %3Dfrequency%2Bdictionary

    In addition, a frequency dictionary of Portuguese is now underway
    (Davies/Preto-Bay), and work should begin soon on dictionaries for
    French and Arabic.

    In the case of Italian, however, we have yet to identify possible
    authors. If you are interested in authoring a frequency dictionary of
    Italian -- based on a robust corpus comprised of several genres --
    please feel free to contact us: Paul Rayson
    (rayson@exchange.lancs.ac.uk) or Mark Davies (mark_davies@byu.edu).

    Thanks,

    Mark Davies
