Automatically Assessing Lexical Sophistication: Indices, Tools, Findings, and Application (2015, methodology): “The Thorndike-Lorge (TL) written frequency counts are based on Lorge’s 4.5 million-word corpus of popular magazine articles (Thorndike & Lorge, 1944).”
Frequency in lexical processing (2016, background): “The corpus as a mirror of collective experience Early counts of word occurrences were carried out by hand, either in an educational context (e.g., see Thorndike & Lorge, 1944) or from a statistical interest (Yule, 1944; Zipf, 1935).”
