Abstract
One of the major challenges faced by researchers in linguistics and psycholinguistics in India is the lack of corpora of linguistic information such as word frequency, letter frequency, phonological and phonetic data on sounds, and morphological data on words, etc, in Indian languages. When they do not get the stimulus material readily available in any corpus, researchers resort to preparing a stimulus set that meets the criteria for their specific study. This paper presents an attempt of preparing a list of words for an ongoing psycholinguistic study on lexical access in Kannada by a method of expert rating on selected words' frequency. A total of 60 Kannada words were selected as stimuli, and seven native Kannada experts rated them on frequency on a six-point scale. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were used for data analysis. Results revealed that the selected Kannada words have high-frequency ratings with good inter-rater reliability.
