Query: Scaling laws and fluctuations in the statistics of word frequencies   In this paper we combine statistical analysis of large text databases and
simple stochastic models to explain the appearance of scaling laws in the
statistics of word frequencies. Besides the sublinear scaling of the vocabulary
size with database size (Heaps' law), here we report a new scaling of the
fluctuations around this average (fluctuation scaling analysis). We explain
both scaling laws by modeling the usage of words by simple stochastic processes
in which the overall distribution of word-frequencies is fat tailed (Zipf's
law) and the frequency of a single word is subject to fluctuations across
documents (as in topic models). In this framework, the mean and the variance of
the vocabulary size can be expressed as quenched averages, implying that: i)
the inhomogeneous dissemination of words cause a reduction of the average
vocabulary size in comparison to the homogeneous case, and ii) correlations in
the co-occurrence of words lead to an increase in the variance and the
vocabulary size becomes a non-self-averaging quantity. We address the
implications of these observations to the measurement of lexical richness. We
test our results in three large text databases (Google-ngram, Enlgish
Wikipedia, and a collection of scientific articles).
