The Quran: Key Word Distribution, Correlations, and Collocation Frequencies delves into the intricate lexicon of the Quran, shedding light on key aspects such as the distribution of key words and their lexical associations. The digital text utilized for this purpose is the Uthmani text of the Tanzil Quran Text, a widely used and esteemed source. The text is presented in its original form, preserving all vocalized Arabic text unaltered, while the unvocalized Arabic text and transcriptions are my own contributions.

In this series, each key word, encompassing adjectives, nouns, proper nouns, and verbs, is presented alongside a range of crucial data. These include the degree of concentration, weighted distribution, correlations, and collocation frequencies. The key words are consistently referenced by their lemma, which is sorted alphabetically according to both Arabic and UNICODE orders.

While lemmatizing the words, no attention has been given to the semantics of each word individually. However, on rare occasions, similar forms of words or proper nouns have been separated to avoid confusion. In assigning each word a lemma, a combination of Classical dictionaries, Quran commentaries, and modern Quran dictionaries has been consulted. The selection of these resources is not always straightforward, as classical dictionaries and commentaries may sometimes disagree or present divergent variant readings or root and lemma attributions.

This series makes a valuable contribution to the fields of Computational Linguistics and Digital Humanities, with a particular focus on Computational Linguistics research on the Quran. By presenting this comprehensive analysis of key word distribution, correlations, and collocation frequencies, it provides valuable insights into the linguistic richness and complexity of the Quran, enriching our understanding of this sacred text.
