Document Summary
There has been a historic dislike of measuring art and literature in a quantitative way. Quantitative data is sharable and therefore is objective not subjective like qualitative data. There is just the hypothesis but no proof. No matter what, literature cannot be reduced to the quantifiable. E-books give you less of both quantitative and qualitative data. First quantitative data look-up will deal strictly with numbers. A type is unique but can be used to make tons of copies. The token is the copy of the unique original. Think of the type as the press and the token as the multiple things that are made from the press. Unique words over total number of words multiplied by a hundred. Type/token ratio of the text on slide 16 20%. The type is jerry" the token is 5" therefore the type token ratio is 20%. Ttr of slide 18 100% because each word is different and therefore is no repetition.
