The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Of course we are comparing there 2 different text and don't know if it is a matter of language or content.

Indeed, I suspect that these graph measures are determined much more about the contents (more precisely, the type of contents) than by the language.  Note for example that Vietnamese plots next to Catalan; and the distance between the two Latin texts is almost three times the distance between English (Romeo and Juliet) and Vietnamese. 

It would be nice to see the plots for (1) exactly the same text (say, the Bible) translated into several very different languages, and (2) non-overlaping subsets of those translations of the same text.  

I will try to prepare some samples, give me some time...

All the best, --stolfi
