Notes:&lt;br&gt;
*1 Years covered in the database for a particular locutor.&lt;br&gt;
*2 Total No. of words contained in a particular corpus section. The subsetted database used here contains 6 69 17 278 words.&lt;br&gt;
*3 Few entries (n=88) in N. Modi books are dated prior to 2010.&lt;br&gt;
*4 To limit computing load, the Lok Sabha corpus was subsetted (approx. 1/10th of its original size) [data courtesy TCPD].&lt;br&gt;
*5 Budget documents prior to 1997 – except budget speeches – have been removed from the analysis due to the low quality of text extraction (dirty OCR).&lt;br&gt;
*6 Reserve Bank of India.&lt;br&gt;
*7 Masked due to redundancy. ‘Administrative documents’ are always reports except for H & T.&lt;br&gt;
*8 Masked due to redundancy with the locutor category ‘Financial statements’.
*9 Not in use, included in the format category ‘book’.&lt;br&gt;
*10 Label applied only to administrative documents and speeches spanning over a period of 20 years or more.&lt;br&gt;
