Razvoj slovenskega knjižnega jezika v 16. stoletju v številkah

This article uses three databases to describe quantitative features of works by sixteenth-century Slovenian Protestant writers that may have a major impact on studies of sixteenth-century standard Slovenian: the number of characters in an individual book, the number of different words (potential headwords) in an individual book, and the number of new words a book introduces. A comparison of the ratios between these data provides an objective perspective on the formation of sixteenth-century standard Slovenian, drawing attention to facts that have to date been insufficiently observed.
