On variation of word frequencies in Russian literary texts

Author

  • Kargin, Vladislav

Abstract

We study the variation of word frequencies in Russian literary texts. Our findings indicate that the standard deviation of a word’s frequency across texts depends on its average frequency according to a power law with exponent 12<α<1, which shows that the rarer words have a relatively larger degree of frequency volatility (that is, higher “burstiness”).
