Does anyone happen to know where I could obtain a categorized list of words from Thorndike and Lorge's _Teacher's Word Book of 30,000 Words_? (the list in T & L is alphabetical, as those familiar with the book will know; and in the back of the book there is a list of the first 1,000 words). By categorized list, I mean (for example) a list of the most common 2,000 words, then the next 1000, the next 2,000, (so that one could see what a basic 2000, 3000, and 5,000 word vocabulary might look like. I have Nelson and Kucera's frequency count, which is helpful, but I would like to have a similar list from Thorndike & Lorge for comparison. Thanks for any advice you can give. ************************************************* "We are citizens of the world; and the tragedy of our times is that we do not know this."
