Please! Help me to choose the correct article in the title

Hello, dear friends! Can ypu help me to choose the correct articles in the title?

Now it sounds like "A corpus-based study of rate of frequency changes of bigrams in English".

Should I use the definite article "the" at the beginning of the title and before rate and frequency? Or these nouns are abstract and the articles should be dropped.

Wow that’s a mouthful of a phrase! I would use an article before rate and another “of” , so I would say “A corpus-based study of the rate of frequency of changes of bigrams in english”, although it sounds quite “of” heavy!

Maybe to help that a little I would say “A corpus-based study of the rate of changes in frequency of bigrams in English” makes it sound a little more natural perhaps? Hope I could help!
