How do I analyze word use in a document or book?

December 5, 2008 / Dave Taylor / Linux Shell Script Programming / 8 Comments

I’ve got a bet with my husband and you need to help us settle it. I was reading Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and he said “I bet you $20 that “pride” shows up more than “prejudice” in that book.” I think he’s wrong, but have no idea how to figure it out. Can you help?
