Lexical frequency profiling (LFP; Laufer & Nation, 1995), which has been highly influential in ESL vocabulary research and instruction, has had a slower beginning in French. This has been due to lack of access to large corpora of French from which pedagogically relevant frequency information could be derived. Pioneering efforts in the 1990s (Goodfellow & Lamy, 2002) had facilitated promising comparisons of the lexical coverage of French and English texts (Author & Horst, 2004), which had pedagogical implications that were both interesting and practical (Ovtcharov, Author & Halter, 2006) but inconclusive owing to incompleteness of the frequency information.
