  The T&T generator is vaguely similar to a high-order word-based Markov model, so it naturally mimics the long-range correlations (up to 4 words apart and more) of the target language.  An English-based version of the T&T output (or of an order-3 Markov) should plot close to real English too, while their shuffled versions would plot far from it.

  Mauro, thank you for the compliments.
  
  You got it right, the co-ocurrence graph has been created with a window of 5 tokens.
  
  Now I have some more tests to carry on:
  
  - see the differences with different windows
  - create the graph taking into account the paragraphs. I think this is important because my opinion is that the window of 5 should not take into account words from the next paragraph. This will reduce the edges and I am curious to see how different the graph KPI will be
  - I will post also graphs KPI for languages A and B
  
  Regarding the differences between texts of the same language, I think the graphs can help separating styles or themes of the texts. I will try to continue testing more texts.
  
  If anyone has any suggestion, I am open to try it through.
