<hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" style="font-size:12pt">Two collections of German texts were built for the study. The first corpus is a collection of 2000 newspaper articles published between 2001 and 2014. The articles belong to ten different thematic classes, and each class contains 200 articles. The ten classes are “Digital”, “Society”, “Career”, “Culture”, “Lifestyle”, “Politics”, “Travel”, “Sports”, “Study” and “Economy”. The corpus contains over 3.4 million words in total, and the average text length is about 1800 words. The second corpus consists of 439 dime novels published between 1961 and 2016, and they belong to five subgenres, namely 100 fantasy novels, 51 horror novels, 88 crime novels, 100 romance novels, and 100 science fiction stories. The corpus contains about 13.4 million words, and the average text length is about 30,000 words. All texts are lemmatized. Since the average document length of the newspaper articles is 1800 words, the novels are also split into 1800 words segments. Thus, the document length is no longer a confounding factor when comparing the test results on the newspaper corpus with the results on the novel corpus.</hi>
