Abstract

Word length motifs and their properties in Modern Greek blogs are investigated. We observe that the parameter of the type-token relation decreases with the increasing text length, and that the parameter values in real and randomized texts are not significantly different. Relations between the number of motifs in a text and the text length is modelled by the linear function for Modern Greek and Ukrainian texts, with the parameter of the model being in both languages inversely proportional to the mean word length.
