Using the Project Gutenberg digital library, Rockmore’s team analysed 7733 English language works written since 1550,(6)_____ how often and in what(7)_____ content-free words appeared. As you might expect, they found that writers were(8)_____ influenced by their predecessors.
They also found that as the number of literature works grew, the influence of older works (9)_____. Authors in the(10)_____ periods wrote in a very similar way to one another, the researchers found, probably because they all read the same(11)_____ body of literature.

(17)_____ writers should be most influenced by their contemporaries(18)_____ the great works of the past is interesting, Rockmore says, because it challenges the(19)_____ of "classic" literature. When it comes to style(20)______, perhaps we aren’t so strongly influenced by the classics after all. [br] (14)
