Thank you for responding to my questions.
Amazon.com has a wonderful search utility. Here is the Pierce book for
you. At only seven dollars, it's a steal. Get the later edition.
The book is a layman's introduction to Shannon's information theory.
There are a few pages that present examples of random text conforming to
zero-, first-, second-, and third-order approximations of English.
