Research needed: peruse other languages' official test documents (the Japanese JLPT is a good example here) or similar official or semi-official word lists, and come up with a list, in something like importance order, of words that a language "should" have. Perhaps this has already been done; if so, I couldn't find it, but that would be fantastic. The goal is to get a list of 5 or 10 thousand words that we can use to guide dictionary development; a set of words to form a core "if you know this you can have a normal conversation" set for learning. We won't likely make direct use of it this year, but we *will* make use of it, and when we need it, we'll need it very much. -Robin --=20 They say: "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons." And I'm thinking: "Does it even occur to you to try for something other than the default outcome?"
