2018

Oriental Studies, Vol 10, Iss 4, Pp 108-133 (2018)

The article attempts to measure the use of combined graphical word forms in Mongolian. The work applies quantitative methods developed in corpus linguistics. The calculations were made with evidence from the General Corpus of Mongolian. The paper identifies the most frequently used combinations constituted by two word forms (graphical word bigrams) and three word forms (graphical word trigrams). The analyzed materials are represented in the form of statistical tables. Tables 1а-1в deal with the frequencies of bigrams. The ranking list (table 1a) comprises 260 most frequently used bigrams the absolute frequency of which is over 83 instances, the relative one being equal to 76 ipm. The alphabetical lists (1б and 1в) show the frequency use of 1041 most frequently used bigrams, the absolute frequency of which exceeds 37 instances, the relative one being 33 ipm. Table 1б is arranged in alphabetical order (from the beginning to the end of a bigram), and table 1в - in reverse alphabetical order (from the end to the beginning of a bigram). Tables 2а-2в deal with the frequencies of trigrams. The ranking list (table 2a) contains 257 most frequently used trigrams the absolute frequency of which exceeds 1 instances, and the relative one is 15 ipm. The alphabetical lists (2б and 2в) illustrate the frequency use of 257 most commonly used trigrams with the absolute frequency over 1 instances and the relative one - 15 ipm. Table 2б is arranged in alphabetical order (from the beginning to the end of a trigram), and table 2в - in reverse alphabetical order (from the end to the beginning of a trigram).
