[The frequencies of derived forms (such as possessives in - 's , negatives in un -, adverbs in - ly , and verb forms in - ed, -ing , and - s ) are computed from certain word counts as yet unpublished, in which a record was kept of all distinguishable forms of every word. The ratio of each such derived form to the basic form of the word is computed; and the distribution tables showing the variation in each such ratio are presented and discussed.]
