Skinner'S Hypothesis Applied To Russian Adnominals

The aim of the article is to study whether at a very abstract level - here distances between adnominals in Russian - one can test hypotheses holding true for lower, more concrete levels. Besides Skinner's hypothesis concerning the repetition of adnominals in near neighborhood we show the course of distances and compute some indicators like Repeat rate, Entropy, Ord's criteria for the given distribution. Some relationships are expressed by formulas. The distances can be captured by the exponential function.
