Summary/Abstract: The article presents frequency data for the basic parts of speech (substantives, adjectives, verbs) and their inflectional forms used in Lithuanian scientific writing. It is based on the Frequency Dictionary of Modern Written Lithuanian (Grumadiené & Zilinskiené I 997) and, more specifically, on its electronic version providing data for the language of science (Grumadiené & Zilinskiené 1996). Furthermore, the frequency of the parts of speech in the language of scientific writings is compared with their frequency in the language varieties used in business and in publicistic writing.
