I have
always found it fascinating how the English language is built up and whether
aspects within writing have an effect other parts text. Using Bivariate data
analysis, I hope to use statistics to highlight the connections in English
writing.

In this
investigation I will be analysing any correlation between the average lengths
of words and sentences within articles from newspaper articles written by
reporters working in The Independent newspaper. It is an intriguing theory
that I would really like to prove or disprove: do longer sentences mean that
people use longer words; if so, is there a strong correlation? If there is a
negative correlation, does it indicate that the writer has to use a large
number of small words to get the same point across, as fewer longer words?"
