That’s pretty interesting. Sketch Engine has many corpora, though, so it would depend which one you wanted to look at. This project is focused on written language, so we use BAWE, but it would be possible to compare with frequencies in BASE (British Academic Spoken English), for example. Haven’t tried it, though…
hello
very interesting project thanks!
i wonder if looking at spoken and written registers in SketchEngine would reflect differences in use of “on the one hand” & “on the other hand” noted here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MuraNava/posts/eNb4ErnnmAW ?
