abstract
  • The related terms dis legomenon, tris legomenon, and tetrakis legomenon respectively (Image:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgi/s/, Image:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgi/ɪs/, Image:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgiImage:Speakerlink.svgi/trəkɨs/) refer to double, triple, or quadruple occurrences, but are far less commonly used. Hapax legomena are quite common, as predicted by Zipf's law, which states that the frequency of any word in a corpus is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. For large corpora, about 40% to 60% of the words are hapax legomena, and another 10% to 15% are dis legomena. Thus, in the Brown Corpus of American English, about half of the 50,000 words are hapax legomena within that corpus. Hapax legomenon refers to a word's appearance in a body of text, not to either its origin or its prevalence in speech. It thus differs from a nonce word, which may never be recorded, may find currency and may be widely recorded, or may appear several times in the work which coins it, and so on.
