The aim of the article is to evaluate and address the limits of an existing approach to the analysis of the thematic concentration of text. To overcome these limits, the article proposes and applies both a modification of the measurement of thematic concentration – known as secondary thematic concentration and proportional thematic concentration – and methods for their statistical testing. The results show that the modification, as well as the application of the proposed tests, enhances the possibilities for analysing the thematic characteristics of text. The article uses 20 Slovak texts of the same genre written by one author.
