Summary

Description
English: Zipf law plot (frequency as function of frequency rank) for the words in texts of three East Asian languages: Tibetan, Chinese (Mandarin), and Vietnamese. Each syllable (each character, in the case of Chinese) was considered a separate word.

The languages, texts and the frequency files are:

  • Tibetan. Text of the Play of Mistaken Illusion by Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche (mid 1900s). Item 95306 from the Asian Classics Input Project (ACIP) collection. Sample: LA 'THAMS PAS 'DI SNANG SPRE'U'I GAR BAR MED YON POR BSGYUR BA'I RNAM G [...] LOG GIS NYAG RONG GI SA. File tibe/pmi/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 143289 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 1963 distinct).
  • Chinese (Mandarin). The classical Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber or Dream of the Red Mansion (Hong2 Lou2 Meng4) by Cao2 Xue3 Qin2 and Gao E (~1750); with some errors and omissions. Chinese characters were mapped 1:1 from GB (Guo Biao) to pinyn with tone marks and disambiguating suffixes, e.g. 'zuo4', 'zuo4.1', 'zuo4.2', so as to distinguish characters with the same pinyin. Sample: ci3 kai1 juan3 di4.2 yi1 hui2 ye3 zuo4.2 zhe3 zi4 yun2 yin1 ceng2 li4.4 [...] dong1 bian1 wu1 nei4.1 guo4 lai2 dai4.1 le5 liu2.1. File chin/red/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 706889 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 2420 distinct).
  • Vietnamese. The first five books (the Pentateuch) from the Cadman Vietnamese Bible (1934), probably translated from the English King James Bible. In the ASCII VIQR encoding, mapped to lowercase, without hyphens. Sample: ban dda^`u ddu+'c chu'a tro+`i du+.ng ne^n tro+`i dda^'t va? dda^'t la` [...] da.y la.i cho dde^? ca'c ngu+o+i la`m theo no' trong xu+' ma` ca'c. File viet/ptt/tot.1/gud.wfr (original 169480 words, truncated/filtered to 35027 words, N = 1631 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.
