CONCLUSIONS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> a) The francophone bilinguals use more than twice as much words as the monolingual native speakers of Dutch.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> b) This fact is connected with the tendency to keep the overall variety of vocabulary at a certain &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; level of speech production. This variety is a bit smaller than in the case of native speakers (cf. the r lo~ee_~ ratio =log N ; for FWD 0.837, for SWD 0.880).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> c) It can nevertheless be described as &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; since the value of parameter B in MANDELBROT's formulation of the ZIPF-Iaw is \].03347.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> d) The foreign lexemes are not equidistributed in the assumed word store; their number increases with the growing text length and this increase is quite evident above the first 3,000 words, This fact allows one to think of them as a &amp;quot;basic vocabulary&amp;quot;, covering various subjects (two different multi-subject samples gave nearly identical values of the basic vocabulary).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> e) The existence of the basic vocabulary and the good fit of empirical data with the theoretical distribution known as ZIPF-Iaw, strengthens the assumption that the word-units in the store are ordered.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> f) One of PShe ordering principles is the pigeon-holing of information according to some classificational system which takes into account the informational content of words. ~4</Paragraph>
