Line initial words are similar to one another, which causes the 9/18 and 10/19 rises, while line-internal words are similar to each another but dissimilar to line initial? This by removing the line initial and final words, the longer repeat disappears and the main N+2 is strengthened because they make up a greater ratio of all words?
Hi Emma,
yes, I agree with your idea. This also applies to line-final words, which so often include EVA:m/g which are rare elsewhere.
I also agree with your explanation of why the N+2 peak is amplified in the purple and light-blue lines. Possibly, the opposite happens in the yellow and green lines, where the N+2 pattern is disturbed by the removal of the 4th word; this has a greater impact when uncertain spaces are ignored and there are fewer "inner" words.
