Longman Defining Vocabulary/alphabetically

The Longman Defining Vocabulary, from Longman Dictionary (1988). 2197 words, 10 prefixes, 39 suffixes.

This is the set of words which the Longman English Dictionary uses to express all its definitions. As such, it may be a useful source of basic vocabulary for the designer of a conlang.

This version of the list is based on the one that used to be found on Jeffrey Kennaway's conlang page. Since that page has now disappeared (I can't even find it on the Internet Archive!) I thought it may be a good idea to make it available to conlangers again.

Note that the American spellings of the original have been replaced with British spellings by Jeffrey.

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.
