Abstract
A new set of parameters to describe the word frequency behavior of texts is proposed. The analogy between the word frequency distribution and the Bose-distribution is suggested and the notion of "temperature" is introduced for this case. The calculations are made for English, Ukrainian, and the Guinean Maninka languages. The correlation between in-deep language structure (the level of analyticity) and the defined parameters is shown to exist.
