Abstract
This article aims to test and compare different statistical methods applied to literary texts in order to measure the lexical proximity between two texts of a corpus. The Hyperbase functions will be tested, the measurement of the "intertextual distance" which is based on Jaccard's indices and Labbé's method but also the evaluation of the "lexical connection". The tree analysis, which highlights the classification hierarchy of texts, will be used to present the distribution of high and low frequencies as a criterion of differentiation. The body of experimentation gathers the novels of Tahar Ben Jelloun (1973-2010).
