Figure 9. CM_–1 scores for the 50 highest and 50 lowest ranked words for Shakespeare, based on the 168 plays in the text corpus dataset.

The 20 highest and 20 lowest ranked words are shown in red and green respectively, and are presented in Tables 2 and 3. CM_–1 ranks ‘’, ‘’ and ‘’ as words that Shakespeare distinctively overuses, in contrast to ‘’ (as discussed by Craig [29]), ‘’ and the infinitive form of ‘’, which are distinctively underused.
