Hemlata Pande, Hoshiyar S. Dhami · Journal of Quantitative Linguistics · 2013
The incidence of different components of language in natural language texts are not arbitrarily organized but tend to obey particular laws which enable us to explain characteristic features of human language. The present paper is an attempt to analyse and model the pattern of occurrence of words in the Hindi language. Various kinds of corpora have been selected from different sources for the study, and the occurrence of words in these corpora has been observed for a variety of properties such as: frequencies, vocabulary measures, and pattern of initials of words relative to the subsequent matra.
