近日想在语料库中看一下secondly的语域情况,于是检索了BYU-BNC语料库(http://corpus.byu.edu/BNC/x.asp,100 million words),得到的normalised frequency是:Spoken 26.1 per million words,academic 71.1 per million words.显然secondly 更多的使用在书面语中。
我又在COCA语料库中(http://www.americancorpus.org/ ,385 million words,balanced corpus)检索了secondly,得到的normalised frequency 是:
spoken :24.1 per million words,academic :8.3 per million words.显然,secondly 更多使用于口语中。
面对这样矛盾的结果,我该以哪个语料库为准呢?
