A table of word frequencies derived from 250,000 words of recorded interviews with
university students and hospital patients is presented. Data for subsamples of 100,000
words each from the student patient populations are also given to permit evaluation of
their differences. A total of 9699 different words, of which 4097 occurred only once in
the complete sample, are listed.
