Summary:

The leading topic uniting the texts in this monograph is the Menzerath-Altmann law and testing its potential validity on samples in different languages (in our case, in Chinese, Japanese, and Czech), on spoken as well as written samples and on samples with newly established, pioneer unit concepts. The Menzerath-Altmann law is reported to be capable of being applied on such variety of language aspects and is, therefore, regarded as a language universal. The monograph, this way, summarizes a follow-up research based on other pilot experiments held not only in the mentioned languages, and attempts to test the concept of the language universal.
