| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we metrically analyzed some famous English books on management and compared these with English journalism. First, the most frequently used characters and words in each material and their frequency were obtained. Then, we calculated the K-characteristic. As a result, the values of the K-characteristic for the materials on management are high, compared with the journalism. We also derived the degree of difficulty through the variety of words and their frequency. As a result, the books on management are easier to read than BusinessWeek. Moreover, we inquired into the word-length distribution of the most frequently used 100 words. It has been cleared that while the distribution for journalism corresponds to the normal distribution, the distribution for the books on management corresponds to the Poisson distribution. |
