[split] (lack of) word groups
#36
I'm just trying to focus on specific problems, can't answer them all at once. I have showed that the presence of recurring phrases is not completely universal.
22% out of 456 medieval texts don't repeat any 5-word phrase. And my corpus, which I assembled before for different reasons, still contains 25 non-Vm texts which never repeat a 4-word phrase. 

My objection is that people like Rugg say a lot about what natural language can and cannot do without actually having tested this. They are faulty assumptions. Those won't get us very far either...
