A new sampling of the same corpus was performed, but this time we first constructed a stop word list consisting of the 50 most frequent word types in the Swedish part of the IVT1 corpus, as a language-independent way of approximating the set of function words in the language.
we had a new sample, with more content words, to compare with the previous one, the hypothesis being that a larger percentage of content words would be able to contribute more links in the pivot alignment process.
