Hiroto Ueda

• In this study, first, the characteristics of the collected materials to carry out the comparative analysis will be explained. Next, the statistical method based on the combination of two important indexes, frequency and dispersion, will be described, for which it is proposed to convert gross frequencies into ordinals. In the next section, principal component analysis will be performed to find the important factors within the multitude of current parameters. Finally conclusions will be drawn on the two methods and the application to lexical studies will be considered in general.
