“Recall Zipf's Principle of Least Effort: if we plot the frequency of a word P sub n against its rank-order n on logarithmic axes, "babbling into her silence, even her bewilderment graceful," we should of course get something like a straight line ... however we've data that suggest the curves for certain-conditions, well they're actually quite different-schizophrenics for example tend to run a bit flatter in the upper part then progressively steeper-a sort of bow shape ...”

“And I only need a tiny amount of leakage to construct a quick Zipf plot.”
“In that case, the Zipf plot I am compiling will settle in at a value close to zero.”
“He knew that Zipf plots dealt with a particular probability distribution, one in which the frequency of any point in a data set was inversely proportional to its rank in a frequency table.”
“The UT also looks for raw statistical relationships to which a simple Zipf plot might be applicable.”
