Top 100 Italian 5-grams

No comments
Guys and girls! Here's my list of the top 100 Italian 5-grams.

I have already made posts with lists of the top 100 English 5-grams and the top 100 French 5-grams. And as I am studying a bit of Italian at the moment (and more or less living in Italy, as I'm spending most of my time in Tuscany this month), I decided to also make the list in Italian.

In the illustration below you can see the top 100 5-grams in the Italian language according to my study.

 

I also tried translating the first 20 phrases, but don't know how much luck I had with that (machine translation:-) Anyways, it might be helpful too, so here it is:


1  da un punto di vista - from a point of view
2  dal punto di vista della - from the point of view of
3  da questo punto di vista - from this point of view
4  nella maggior parte dei casi - in most cases
5  data di entrata in vigore - date of entry into force
6  in tutto o in parte - in whole or in part
7  per la prima volta in - for the first time in
8  dal punto di vista del - from the point of view of the
9  non è in grado di - It is not able to
10  sia dal punto di vista - both from the point of view
11  di una vera e propria - of a real
12  gli uni e gli altri - the one and the other
13  paesi in via di sviluppo - developing countries
14  anche dal punto di vista - also from the point of view
15  di entrata in vigore della - of entry into force of
16  per la prima volta nel - for the first time in
17  di un vero e proprio - of a real
18  nella seconda metà del secolo - in the second half of the century
19  in vigore della presente legge - into force of this Act
20  a mano a mano che - to as they


For those of you who are not familiar with ngrams, here's a short explanation: An ngram is any sequence of n number of words that you may find in a text. A 2-gram for instance consists of 2 word, and a 5-gram consists of 5 words. It's used for studying languages statistically in computer science and so on, but I found out that it's really helpful (for me at least) to use them to learn languages! Pretty nerdy and pretty awesome, don't you think?

I did the study using data from ngramfinder.com!
