Overused Words And Synonyms In 6 Languages

Overused Words And Synonyms In 6 Languages, Synopedia

English first, version française complète plus bas. In breve in italiano, en resumen en español, kurz auf Deutsch i en resum en català à la fin.

The Words Writers Repeat Most, With Alternatives

Good, good, good. Every editor has crossed out the same word three times in a paragraph. This dataset lists the 500 content words people repeat most in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Catalan, and gives each one up to 5 common alternatives, with the same columns in every language.

Repetition is the first thing teachers and editors flag, and the first thing writing assistants try to fix. Yet there is no open multilingual list of the words that come back most often and of what can replace them. Here it is, for six languages.

The alternatives come from Synopedia, a free multilingual dictionary of synonyms and antonyms, and from the same lists that power its free Repeated Word Finder extension and Google Docs add-on. Each word links to its full page on Synopedia, with synonyms grouped by meaning, antonyms and definitions.

How It Was Made

Words are lemmas of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, ranked by written frequency, book frequencies (Lexique 3.83) for French and wordfreq for the other languages. Function words such as articles, pronouns and auxiliaries are excluded, using the same lists as the Synopedia extensions. Alternatives are the most common synonyms shown on Synopedia, and each one was traced back to at least one source whose licence allows sharing under CC BY-SA 4.0. Vulgar, sexual and offensive words were removed from this public sample.

What You Can Do With It

  • Build a repeated word checker for an editor, a CMS or a chatbot, and suggest a replacement for each repeat.
  • Measure lexical diversity in essays, articles or generated text, word by word and language by language.
  • Teach vocabulary. Start learners with the 500 words they will meet most, and the words that can stand in for them.
  • Benchmark synonym choice. Ask a language model to pick the alternative that fits a sentence and compare.

The quickstart notebook on Kaggle loads the file and builds a working repeated word checker in fifteen lines.

Prefer Colab? The same starter runs in Google Colab, the data loads straight from Hugging Face.

See it at work in the free Repeated Word Finder app on Hugging Face, which uses this data in six languages.

Limits

Alternatives are not split by meaning, so for a word with several senses they may mix them (savoir gives comprendre and connaître). Pick the one that fits the context, or use the meaning groups on Synopedia. Some German lists are shorter, because sources with an incompatible licence were left out. The lists were built automatically with partial human review. Corrections are welcome through Synopedia.

Version Française

Les Mots Qu'On Répète Le Plus, Et Par Quoi Les Remplacer

Bien, bien, bien. Tout relecteur a déjà barré trois fois le même mot dans un paragraphe. Ce jeu donne les 500 mots pleins les plus répétés en anglais, français, italien, espagnol, allemand et catalan, avec pour chacun jusqu'à 5 alternatives courantes, et les mêmes colonnes dans chaque langue.

La répétition est la première chose que relèvent les professeurs et les correcteurs, et la première que les assistants d'écriture tentent de corriger. Il n'existait pourtant aucune liste ouverte et multilingue des mots qui reviennent le plus et de ce qui peut les remplacer. La voici, pour six langues.

Les alternatives viennent de Synopedia, un dictionnaire gratuit des synonymes et des contraires en six langues, et des mêmes listes que son extension de détection des répétitions et son module Google Docs, gratuits eux aussi. Chaque mot renvoie à sa page complète sur Synopedia, avec les synonymes classés par sens, les contraires et des définitions.

Comment Le Jeu A Été Construit

Les mots sont des lemmes de noms, verbes, adjectifs et adverbes, classés par fréquence à l'écrit, d'après les livres (Lexique 3.83) pour le français et wordfreq pour les autres langues. Les mots grammaticaux, articles, pronoms ou auxiliaires, sont exclus avec les mêmes listes que les extensions Synopedia. Les alternatives sont les synonymes les plus courants affichés sur Synopedia, et chacune a été rattachée à au moins une source dont la licence permet le partage sous CC BY-SA 4.0. Les mots vulgaires, sexuels ou blessants ont été retirés de cet échantillon public.

À Quoi Ça Sert

  • Construire un détecteur de répétitions pour un éditeur de texte, un CMS ou un chatbot, et proposer un remplaçant pour chaque répétition.
  • Mesurer la richesse du vocabulaire dans des copies, des articles ou des textes générés, mot par mot et langue par langue.
  • Enseigner le vocabulaire. Commencer par les 500 mots qu'on rencontre le plus, et par ceux qui peuvent les remplacer.
  • Évaluer le choix d'un synonyme. Demander à un modèle de langue l'alternative qui convient à une phrase, et comparer.

Le carnet de démarrage sur Kaggle charge le fichier et construit en quinze lignes un détecteur de répétitions qui fonctionne.

Vous préférez Colab ? Le même carnet tourne dans Google Colab, les données se chargent depuis Hugging Face.

À voir en action dans l'application gratuite Repeated Word Finder sur Hugging Face, qui utilise ces données dans six langues.

Limites

Les alternatives ne sont pas séparées par sens, elles peuvent donc mêler plusieurs sens d'un même mot (savoir donne comprendre et connaître). Choisissez celle qui convient au contexte, ou consultez les groupes de sens sur Synopedia. Certaines listes allemandes sont plus courtes, les sources sous une licence incompatible ayant été écartées. Les listes ont été construites automatiquement avec une relecture partielle. Les corrections sont bienvenues sur Synopedia.
