Abstract

Modern Greek is one of the least quantitatively studied modern European languages and the goal of this paper is to fill this relative void. We use the Hellenic National Corpus (HNC), which is a growing corpus that currently includes 33 million words. The corpus and all the tools used in our work were developed by the Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP). In this paper we focus on three main areas: the lists of the 1000 most common words and lemmas, word length and letter frequency. We also make some comparisons with earlier work, in which we had used the previous 13 million word edition of the HNC.
