Text Frequency Analysis

Text frequency analysis is a descriptive text-mining method that counts how often words, n-grams, and phrases occur in a corpus to reveal content patterns and dominant themes. It rests on the frequency-distribution insight formalised by George K. Zipf (1949), that a few terms occur very often while most are rare, and it is one of the most basic and widely used entry points into quantitative text analysis.
