    Colleagues:

        I'm having trouble finding a Swedish newspaper word
    frequency list.

    Do you know of such a corpus from which someone
    has extracted a word frequency list showing each term's
    frequency/million. I found a reference to such a corpus on
    the Web claiming to have been based on 46 million words
    from an Uppsala newspaper -- but I got no response to e-mails
    nor to telephone calls -- the # supplied was no longer in service.

      I need this for my cross-national study of the levels at which
    schoolbooks were pitched in 1st through 8th grades from
    1930 through 2000. The five nations are USA, Canada,
    New Zealand, Sweden and France. The US and Canadian
    studies are complete. The Swedish schoolbooks have been
    sampled from the Stockholm Institute of Education last Nov.
      and the French sample is well along.

    Any suggestions which would help me find such
    a Swedish word frequency list would be most
    appreciated.
