Word Pressure by Work

Long piles / concentrated pressure

Raw count favors long works. Rate per thousand tokens favors short works and can become silly when the denominator is tiny. The useful reading is therefore two-dimensional: how many lexical events does a work contain, and how continuously does it sustain them?

On raw count, large works such as Actual Attack Documentation, FutureSport 90-90 and YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST rise to the top. Among works with at least 1,000 word-like tokens, however, With One Hand, Erase the Dagger leads the present filter at 63.7 outliers per thousand tokens, followed by A Head of Steam and Fog and Dreams (46.8) and Blown Dust, Tactless Data Loss (42.6).
