Can someone compute word usage counts over a large corpus of computational social science, statistics, and sociology, then give me a list of words that occur at least, like, 5 times that I can merge with my OS dictionary file, please?

That would be pretty sweet. If you're interested, though, I've got data from my dissertation on how many times Hegel uses certain keywords....

Fun fact*: Hegel uses 'dialectic' about 32 times in his Collected Works. Relative to the frequency of related terms, that's nothing. So when someone uses the term 'Hegelian dialectic', they're making a big fat interpolation into the text, not telling you what Hegel actually said.

Sorry for The Boring. I just get irrationally enthusiastic about stylometric analysis.

For (this part of) my doctoral research, I worked with an econmetrician that I knew. I collected the data, applied my 'baby math' analysis & asked him: is this right? A few regressions later, he told me: 'it is right, by this much....' My defense committee was unimpressed.

They didn't understand the math, so naturally assumed it wasn't important.

I wanted to continue with stylometric analysis, but getting access to searchable, electronic versions of the necessary texts required funding I didn't have.
