The Quran: Key Word Distribution, Correlations and Collocation Frequencies.

Presented over 5 volumes (available separately), The Quran: Key Word Distribution, Correlations and Collocation Frequencies provides key data related to the lexicon of the Quran, in terms of Key Word distribution and lexical associations. The digital text used for this purpose is the widely-used Uthmani text of the Tanzil Quran Text. All vocalised Arabic text is quoted unaltered in any shape or form from the Tanzil text. Unvocalised Arabic text and transcriptions are the author's own. In this series, each Key Word face=Calibri>- here adjectives, nouns, proper nouns and verbs face=Calibri>- is presented together with the following key data: degree of concentration, weighted distribution, and correlations and collocation frequencies. The Key Words are always referenced by their lemma and are sorted alphabetically according to Arabic and UNICODE order. In lemmatising the words, no attention has been given to the semantics of each word. Only on rare occasion have similar forms of words or proper nouns been separated in order to avoid confusion. In assigning each word a lemma, the author has consulted classical dictionaries and Quran commentaries, as well as modern Quran dictionaries.
