Проведенный анализ:

1) Анализ уникальности данных

Подсчитана доля уникальных слов в корпусе через нахождение отношения числа уникальных слов к общему количеству слов. Результат → Lexical diversity: 0.2648098553829673

→ 10 первых уникальных слов: 'wild', 'nineyearold', 'offer', 'mythography', 'azhi', 'hornless', 'firebreathing', 'planted', 'snakelike', 'family'

→ Такой анализ показывает, насколько разнообразен словарный состав текста, его богатство. Чем выше TTR, тем более разнообразным считается текст. Однако стоит учитывать, что такой тип анализа зависит от длины и может показывать искаженные резальтаты для коротких текстов.

2) Анализ частоты POS-тегов

Слова размечены на части речи (POS-tagging), выявлены тенденции, слова какой части речи в тексте преобладают. Результат → Top-5 POS tags: [('NOUN', 1921), ('ADP', 1207), ('DET', 1108), ('VERB', 1083), ('PROPN', 1000)] → Наиболее часто в тексте втречаются существительные (1921), на втором месте адлоги (предлоги+послелоги, 1207), затем идут детерминативы (артикли, 1108), на четвертом месте глаголы (1083) и замыкают местоимения-существительные (1000)

→ Такой анализ показывает, какие части речи преобладают в тексте. Полученную информацию можно использовать, например, для дальнейшей обработки текста, при автоматическом определении жанра или стилометрическом анализе.

3) Анализ совместной встречаемости

Создана матрица ко-частотности слов для анализа совместного появления терминов, сохраненная в формате CSV. → Таблица доступна по ссылке: матрица совместной встречаемости → Например, слово "dragon" встречается в тексте вместе с "yellow" (4), "word" (8), "chinese" (18), "which" (28).

→ Такой тип анализа позволяет выявить ключевые связи между словами, то есть определить, какие слова чаще всего встречаются вместе. Это необходимо для построение семантических сетей или определении тематики текста.
