The way someone talks, and the words they use, tell us quite a bit about where someone is from, their social background and even their age.

Key Points: 
  • The way someone talks, and the words they use, tell us quite a bit about where someone is from, their social background and even their age.
  • By measuring the frequency of words, we can determine what a particular society or group prioritises and values.
  • Here are five frequently discussed topics and some of the words that define them, including how many times they appeared per million words.

1. Time and punctuality

  • The idea of time is closely connected with punctuality – something highly valued in Britain.
  • The expressions “on time” and “in time” occur with the combined frequency of 47 per million words.
  • The most popular month is December (149 per million), followed by March and May (145 and 142 per million respectively).

2. Weather and climate

  • Cultural stereotypes – and plenty of polling – suggest that Brits frequently talk about the weather.
  • “Weather” is most frequently used in online language (mainly emails and text messages) followed by newspapers (weather reports).
  • Climate change (29 per million), emissions (43 per million) and renewable energy (6 per million) also now dominate the public discourse, indicating a growing focus on longer-term changes, not just current weather conditions.

3. Food and drink

  • “Dinner” appears 68 times per million words, “lunch” 51 times and “breakfast” 43 times per million.
  • The most frequently mentioned food items include eggs, fish, cake, apples, chocolate, cream, chicken, meat, fruit and cheese.
  • And a cultural sweet tooth is evident: cake is spoken about three times more frequently than salad.

4. Emotions

  • While the British disposition is known to be composed and slightly reserved, the data shows that the most frequent adjective expressing an emotion is “happy”.
  • Other adjectives expressing emotions include proud, sad (both 54 per million), pleased (53 per million), afraid (47 per million) and glad (46 per million).

5. Our bodies

  • The review of the British National Corpus 2014 also shows that people spend quite a bit of time talking about their bodies.
  • Specifically, hand, head, eye, foot and heart are the top five most frequently used words referring to our body.
