Vord length distribution

[Alin_J]

This is an interesting line of investigation.  But I see one big problem, which you mention already yourself: it depends on the transcription. 

This is a graph showing the word-length distribution for the 101 transcription, of the VM words in the word-vocabulary. In this transcription the average word length is 5 characters in length. Shown together is a fit of a normal distribution curve (as Anton stated before, the normal distribution is equal to a binomial distribution for large different number of variable values, or a non-discrete binomial distribution. Also, min(p,1-p) should be > 0.1). 

   

The distribution is also clearly symmetrical and shows a good fit with the normal curve as well, as for the EVA transcription. So, I don't think the transcription format changes the distribution shape much, only perhaps the average length and standard deviation values.
