The relationship between the size of the whole and the size of the parts in language and music is known to follow Menzerath-Altmann law at many levels of description (morphemes, words, sentences...). ...

The distribution behavior dictated by the Menzerath-Altmann (MA) law is frequently encountered in linguistic and natural organizations at various structural levels. ...
With this derivation, we achieve a transformed (generalized) form of the MA model, termed the statistical mechanical Menzerath-Altmann (SMMA) model. ...

Using electronic documents, we show that some of these distributions cannot be used to model the frequency of bytes in electronic documents even if these documents represent natural language documents. ...
Studies of frequency distributions of natural language elements have identified some distributions that offer a good fit. ...
Similarly, the parameters for Menzerath-Altmann are nicely clustered for text but lie on a onedimensional curve for the raw corpus. ...
