The Defining Vocabulary sorted by word frequency
To increase the usefulness of this Defining Vocabulary I have sorted it according to a word frequency list based on the British National Corpus. Remaining American spellings in the above list have been Britished.
Words in the frequency list are distinguished according to which word class (part of speech) they belong to, so that words that occur in multiple word classes occur several times at different places in the Defining Vocabulary as sorted by word frequency. I have appended an alphabetical list of those words of the Defining Vocabulary which appear in multiple word classes according to the frequency list, along with the tags which the frequency list uses to identify the word classes. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any key to those tags.
