Ziplf Law plot for Biblical texts: Latin Vulgate Pentateuch, Greek NT, Russian Pentateuch

Summary edit

Description
English: Zipf law plot (frequency as function of frequency rank) for the words in Biblical texts, in Latin, Greek, and Russian.

The languages, texts and the frequency files are:

  • Latin. The first five books (the Pentateuch) from the Latin version (Vulgate) of the Old Testament, edited by St. Jerome around 400 CE. Converted to lowercase. Sample: in principio creavit deus caelum et terram terra autem erat inanis et [...] chananei. File latn/ptt/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 96870 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 6633 distinct).
  • Greek. The full Byzantine text-type or Majority Text version of the New Testament (27 books) in vulgar Byzantine Greek (koiné), from 300 CE or earlier. Transcribed by Mark Fuller. Converted to a had-hoc encoding of the Greek alphabet into ISO Latin-1. Whole text (27 books). Sample: biblos geneseôs iësou qristou uiou dauid uiou abraam abraam egennësen [...] marðas tës. File grek/nwt/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 66183 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 5436 distinct).
  • Russian. The first five books (the Pentateuch) from the Synodal Russian Bible (1876). Translated from Old Slavonic, with many archaic words. Romanized, all lowercase. Sample: v nachale sotvoril bog nebo i zemlyu zemlya zhe byla bezvidna i pusta i [...] v den' sobraniya i otdal ikh gospod' mne i. File russ/ptr/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 111824 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 5520 distinct).
The word frequency files '*/*/*/gud.wfr' are available at the UNICAMP website. The original annotated full texts, before truncation/filtering, are in the companion files */*/org/main.src. The truncated/filtered texts -- one word per line, without punctuation -- are in */*/*/gud.tlw.
