• Description:
  The verbal definitions index, along with other indicators such as the nominalism index, epithetization index, quantitative richness of vocabulary and repetition of vocabulary, is a useful parameter in the stylistic characterization of the text. It is calculated by dividing the sum of adverb uses by the sum of verb uses ( ). It determines how many adverbs there are for one verb. The aim of the proposed article is to determine the index of verbal terms for contemporary Polish reportage against a comparative background of twenty-three different types of texts, based on calculations contained in the linguistic works of I. Kamińska-Szmaj, W. Pisarek, M. Rachwałowa, M. Zarębina. In order to do this, a three-stage methodology was used, including: corpus, quantitative and comparative analyses. The corpus of texts representative of contemporary Polish reportage is a selection of eighteen reportage novels awarded with the Beata Pawlak Award. The analysis carried out showed quite high homogeneity of the examined reportages in terms of the analyzed feature – the extreme values differ only by 0.17, and the deviations from the calculated average (Ww = 0.31) do not exceed 0.10 in any of the reportages.
