For a while I have been watching the growth of the vocabularies used
for some Teletext pages dealing with traffic and weather
information. Languages are Dutch, English, Danish and
Swedish.
Some statistics are collected on a daily basis:
- A matrix, containing along the diagonal the number of
different word forms used on each of the pages (not
lemmatized, not corrected), and the size of the
intersections (lower left) and unions (upper right) of the
vocabularies .
- For each of the pages, the most recently added new words.
- For all pages together a (semi-)graphical presentation of
the growth of the word form vocabulary over time
- For every page and topic a full list of word forms (not
corrected for spelling errors) and their frequencies.
By
clicking on the column header you can sort the list
alphabetically or by frequency.
Here are some examples (updated every day):

Stopped on Jan 30 2007 because the pages are no
longer available in text format.
The recordings have started at different dates,
starting in 1994, and are still ongoing.
