The General Service List
The
General Service List is a list of the basic
vocabulary of English in order of frequency. It
was
first created by West in
1953. The version used here was adapted by Baumann
and
Culligan in
1995. It
contains almost 2,300 words.
Here, the General Service List is
divided into smaller sublists. Sublist 1 has the
first 500
words.
Sublist 2
the next 500 words etc.
