Abstract
This paper discusses the possible significance of different “strategies”, that is of different distribution functions, in the utterance of certain language units. Two samples of the utterance of numbers are analysed and found to exhibit a given strategy. The existence of such strategies has implications with respect to the capacity of the brain for handling both semantic and statistical information.Keywords
