    <Paragraph position="0"> This article originated from inspiring discussions with David Milward and Slava Katz. Many thanks! Most of the work was done while the author was visiting IRCS at the University of Pennsylvania at the invitation of Aravind Joshi, and a number of New York pubs at the invitation of Jussi Karlgren, both of which was very much appreciated. I wish to thank Mark Lauer for helpful comments and suggestions to improvements, Seif Haridi for constituting the entire audience at a seminar on this work and focusing the question session on the convergence region of the parameter 0, and/~.ke Samuelsson for providing a bit of mathematical elegance.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1">  I also gratefully acknowledge Rens Bod's encouraging comments and useful pointers to related work. Special credit is due to Mark Liberman for sharing his insights about Zipf's law, for drawing my attention to the Simon-Mandelbrot controversy, and for supplying various background material. This article, like others, has benefited greatly from comments by Khalil Sima'an.</Paragraph>
