Mastering The Measurement Of Text'S Frequency Structure: An Investigation On Lambda'S Reliability |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Lambda is a measure of frequency structure that has been presented to be independent of text size (Popescu, Cech & Altmann, 2011). We demonstrate in this study that Lambda is obviously dependent on text size, confirming the findings of Cech (2015). Based on the assumption that Lambda was independent of text size, Popescu, Cech & Altmann (2011) investigated into its capacity to detect text genre. We find that Lambda is still able to distinguish genres, but only very different ones. We also propose an experimental method based on Chinese to observe if Lambda is really able to measure the degree of analytism/ synthetism of a text (Popescu, Cech & Altmann, 2011). We find that this method is promising. Moreover, our results corroborate with the assumption that Lambda has this property. |
