The corpus analyzed is a collection of texts producedby the African Union. The high frequency of words and terms occurring in this type ofproduction contributes in loosing their meaning which is contrary to the appreciation of termsoccurring in an expert discourse for information retrieval or lexical resources purposes wherethe high frequency of a term consolidates its belonging to a specific field of knowledge.
