In 1967, Kucera and Francis published their classic work Computational Analysis of Present-Day American English (1967), which provided basic lexicostatistics on what is known today simply as the Brown Corpus.
It has been very widely used in computational linguistics, and was for many years among the most-cited resources in the field.
This simple rank vs. frequency relationship was noted for an extraordinary variety of phenomena by George Kingsley Zipf (for example, see his "The Psychobiology of Language"), and is known as Zipf's Law.

In Spanish, the dental and velar stops are equally distributed, with the labial stop least frequent (Delattre, 1965).
In American English, the dental stop /t/ is the most frequent consonant, not only of the three respective stops but also in the language (Kucera and Francis, 1967).
Discussion will focus on the language specific frequency facts of the native language as significantly correlated with the interference and variation in the acquisition of a second language.

 UCREL History
UCREL began its existence in 1970 when Geoffrey Leech founded a group under the name of CAMET (Computer Archive of Modern English Texts) within the then single Department of English.
The CAMET group's aim was to compile a 1,000,000 word corpus of written British English for use on the computer as a parallel to the American Brown corpus developed at Brown University, Rhode Island, by Nelson Francis and Henry Kucera (the first computer corpus of English).
In its later stages this project, which reached completion in 1978, was assisted by the involvement of the Norwegian universities of Oslo and Bergen, and the completed corpus was hence called the Lancaster/Oslo-Bergen (or LOB) corpus (Johansson, Leech and Goodluck, 1978).
