AFL Written (TAALES index)

[Shireen Baghestani]

Hello,

In consulting the TAALES 2.2 Index Guide (11-8-2016), I noticed that for Written_AFL_Normed (Academic Formulas List Written), the numerator is listed as "Number of Written AFL words in text." Since the AFL is a list of phrases/lexical bundles, shouldn't the numerator be "Number of Written AFL formulas in text"? 

I realize I could try to verify this myself, but all I have been able to find from Simpson-Vlach & Ellis (2010) is their appendix listing the top 200 Written AFL formulas. Therefore, there may be other formulas that I don't know about.

To summarize, I'm wondering whether there is a typo in the documentation, or if the index truly does indicate only words from the Written AFL.

Thanks so much,

Shireen
