LEXICAL SPECTRUMS DEFRAGMENTED

DEFRAGS

The DEFRAGMENTED LEXICAL SPECTRUMS use the same data and are each the same size as the LEXICAL SPECTRUMS of the same name but instead of colour words per page, they are painted as percentages of the total mentions of each colour word. Each painting begins on the left with the colourless pages, followed by white mentions (the most numerous colour word for all three). They then each go their separate way (ie. red has the second most mentions for APOD and COPD DEFRAGMENTED, but black is the second most numerous colour word for SAPOD DEFRAGMENTED) concluding on the right with colour words mentioned only once.
