Hello dear list members,
 
 
I have an arithmetic question. If a particular expression occurs let's
say 500 times in a 5 million word corpus, can I assume that there will
be 100 of these expressions in a one million corpus or is there a
statistical (probability)formula  which I should apply?
 
Cheers,
 
Helene Stengers
