A frequency count of more than 190,000 words of spoken English is presented. The count is based on a published corpus of spontaneous conversation (Svartvik {\&} Quirk, 1980). A brief description of the count is presented, and the correlations between spoken word frequency and a range of other word variables are reported. It is expected that the frequency count will be useful in the interpretation of certain psychological data.
The analysis was performed from a machine-readable tape containing all the published transcripts. All information about stress, pause duration, speaker, etc., was removed, leaving only the words themselves.
