Following is a lexeme frequency list for the demonstration version of the corpus sampler. The frequency of the lexemes was calculated after summing up the frequency of all forms, and in the case of homonymic forms - with reference to the proportions of their occurrence in Słownik frekwencyjny polszczyzny współczesnej [A Frequency Dictionary of Contemporary Polish].

This means for instance that the number of occurrences of the word mamy as a homonym formed from the noun mama ('mum') or the verb mieć ('have') has been split between these two lexemes in the same proportion as the forms are divided in Słownik frekwencyjny. Manual calculation of the frequency of certain lexemes confirms the supposition that their distribution is the same today as it was two or three decades ago. Naturally, in the case of new lexemes, or those occurring today significantly more often or more rarely than some years ago, we cannot rely on Słownik frekwencyjny. For example, the word dział, a homonymic form representing Nominative and Accusative singular of the noun dział ('section', 'department') as well as Genitive plural of the noun działo ('cannon'), appears twenty times more often today in the first than in the second meaning, but in the Słownik frekwencyjny corpus its usage was evenly distributed.

The list gives the following items in succeeding columns:

1. lexeme ranking
2. number of occurrences of lexeme
3. basic form of lexeme
4. inflected form of lexeme
5. number of occurrences of inflected form.

Columns 4. and 5. relate to the 50 most frequent lexemes.
