| Abstract(in English) | The styles of TIME and Newsweek, which are the most popular news magazines, were analyzed by using a computer. As a result, it was proved that both the frequency curve of words and that of characters had little changed for past 60 years. The frequency curve has an inflection point, by which the genre of English can be identified. After counting the percentage of essential words for junior high school students and high school students in the writings, we found the relative difficulty of them by fuzzy rules. It would be a good guide in selecting textbooks or supplementary readers. |
