    abstract = "The relation between the length of a text and the number of unique words is investigated using several Swedish language corpora. We consider a number of existing measures of vocabulary richness, show that they are not length-independent, and try to improve on some of them based on statistical evidence. We also look at the spectrum of values over text lengths, and find that genres have characteristic shapes."
