Aspects Revealing the Orthography and Punctuation Impact in Printed Romanian: A Literary Corpus Based Study

摘要

The paper is part of a broader study on the impact of orthography and punctuation in the printed Romanian language model. The experimental study is made on a corpus of 49 books (novels and short stories) totaling over 6 million words. The paper sets up 3 areas of priority interest for the natural language (NL) user along the Zipf's Law graph for the analysis of significant words in the language (covering over 70% of the occurrences in the corpus.) The analysis is continued to the author subcorpus. The final words of the sentence / complex sentence are also considered.
