(that is, the approx average amount of words he would use from play to play) and also (my main question) did that amount vary much from play to play to sonnet.I realize that coming up with a specific number of uniqe words for anyone play (and then comparing to other works) could be done (very monotonous job though) but I am hoping someone has done this sort of counting/calculating before. I noticed he invents a lot of words to make them fit into the meter, but does he use these same words in other plays?
If you don't think this has been done, then do you have any ideas how i could tabulate this (even if you think its rather pointless)? (use excel or something) .. i don't write software so I am sort of limited in what tools i could use, but I am thinking that excel would do the job, no? any ideas?
Also did shakespeare write anything else (that is still around) besides plays and sonnets?
thanks
