Soll jmd. ein Archiv wörtlicher u. schriftlicher Rede nach d. Häufigkeit untersuchen und eine Rangliste aufstellen? Gibt es solche Archive? Google ngram untersucht nur Bücher, nicht Zeitungen, Briefe, Bedienungsanleitungen - geschweige gesprochene Sprache. Dort kann man einzelne Wortkombinationen nach Häufigkeit suchen, aber nur, soweit diese nebeneinanderstehen, nicht er **ließ** die Suche **sein**. – user unknown Mar 21 '12 at 7:18
