Abstract

An innovative method for measuring the temperature of texts is introduced by measuring deviation from a standard Maxwell-Boltzmann (M–B) distribution for a corpus of English words. The temperature of English texts for junior and senior high schools in Japan and grades one through 12 in the US are measured and found to be between 148 K and 87 K, when the temperature of ANC (American National Corpus) is assumed to be 100 K as a standard. The temperature of several books by famous authors (Einstein, Darwin, etc.) is also analyzed. The present technique also can be applied to many other topics. Application to mortality rate distribution in Japan is discussed as an example.
