Abstract

We report an ongoing study on statistical characteristics of texts written in different genres. At this stage, we compared Lithuanian and English texts of different genres. We used 16 indices which describe frequency structure of text as well as measure vocabulary richness. Initial study showed significant differences of indices calculated for genre pairs of the same language. Analysis of indices showed that the correlation between the various indices is high.
