We study the number of words that occur exactly once since the beginning of a text. We model it as a stochastic process over the length of the text. The elementary probability model, going back to Bahadur and Karlin, states that the number of words that occur exactly once should grow according to a power law, like the number of different words. The final value of the number of words occurring exactly once is the number of hapaxes of this text. We construct two statistical tests to test Karlin’s model under the assumption that the probabilities of words in this model satisfy the generalized Zipf’s law. These statistical tests show that some texts fit the model well, but many texts deviate significantly from it. This deviation is that the number of hapaxes is too small relative to the number of different words.
