If so, the positions of hapax legomena could serve as anchor points for text alignment. Texts, chosen for testing the hypothesis, are Orwell's famous novel 1984 and its translation into the Lithuanian language by Virgilijus epliejus. The reason for the choice is that the texts exist both in a readily aligned and non-aligned forms. That makes it possible to check the method of alignment by hapax legomena. They have to be commented as they influence and explain the outcome of the procedure.
Lithuanian translation has a greater variety of different types.
Every 12 th token in English and every 4th token in the Lithuanian text is new due to the same reason. The combination of the greater number of shorter English running words, used in longer sentences and fewer but longer Lithuanian words, used in shorter sentences, amount to unimportant difference in the number of sentences. More or less equal amount of sentences could make it possible to compare automatically the position of each hapax in both texts. That couldn't be done on word level due to great difference in the number of running words. It could be predicted from the comparative statistics that identification and comparison of hapax legomena for the selected texts can be made more difficult by the different nature of respective languages.
