After the two preceding surveys, we planned to extend the scope to the entire field of magazines. This series is a report on one such additional survey.

The following criteria were adopted in the selection of magazines: (1) The magazine should be for adults; (2) It should be on open sale, but not a house organ nor one for specialists; (3) It should have a large circulation compared to others of its kind. Such magazines were then classified into five strata (or simply “group”): I. Review, Literature and Art (Tyûôkôron, Gunzô, Geizyutu Sintyô, etc.); II. Popular Reading (Bungei Syunzyû, Sandê Mainiti, etc.); III. Business and Popular Science (Tôyô Keizai Sinpô, Kagaku Asahi, etc.); IV. Housekeeping (Syuhu no Tomo, etc.); V. Amusements, Hobbies and Sports (Ôru Yomimono, Eiga Fan, Igo, Yakyû-kai, etc.). The ninety selected magazines were published quarterly, monthly, semimonthly, every ten days or weekly. The “universe” of this survey was the complete text of the issues published in 1956 (total 227,000 pages). The number of running words was estimated at some 160 million β-units, including sixty million occurrences of zyosi and zyodôsi. We investigated some 440,000 words (not counting zyosi and zyodôsi), and some 100,000 zyosi and zyodôsi.

For this survey we devised a new sampling plan to guarantee the estimation precision for the small frequency of the order. This plan is a kind of stratified cluster sampling, where each cluster in the same stratum is formed by random combination of one-eighth-page-size parts of texts in such a way that the number of running words in any cluster is approximately equal to a certain constant. We believe that our method, including such a sampling plan, can make possible the manual completion of the statistical aspect of word count.

Report 21 gives both a general description, with a full discussion of how our sampling-estimation method was applied, and frequency tables of words which occurred seven times or more in the sample, separately for zyosi and zyodôsi and for other words. The tables are arranged in the order of the kana-syllabary for the former (140 entries are listed), and in the order both of the kana-syllabary and of frequency in the whole and in every stratum. For words with sample frequencies over 49, intervals of the confidence coefficient (95%) and estimation precisions are given in addition to their relative frequencies.
