    Dear Andrew,

    The Linguistic Data Consortium's CallHome Lexicons offer
    information on word frequency, as well as orthography, morphology,
    pronunciation, and stress. The languages covered by the CallHome
    Lexicons are American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese,
    Mandarin, and Spanish.

    A search by corpus type in our Catalog will point you to further
    details regarding these lexicons, as well as all other data
    available through LDC.

    Please let me know if you have further questions.

    Best,
