Simpozij OBDOBJA34 corpora, the conjunction ratio is quite stable (between 7.7 and 9.0 %). However, in is relatively more frequent in the texts produced by pupils without a Slovenian environ - ment (VS 11/12 and 12/13e), and both the ratio and variety of conjunctions are least for group 12/13e. Chart 2: Text length vs. conjunctions Agraphical reproduction of the data from Table 9 reveals the dominant role of the conjunctionininallcorpora.Chart2moreoverclearlyshowstherelationshipbetween text size and the overall amount of conjunctions. While all corpora show a high in-ratio, only the [olar corpus also shows a high numberofdifferent conjunctions, as seen in Table 9. 3 Conclusion Thispaperdescribesthreeapplicationsofquantitativelinguisticstotheassessment of language proficiency, highlighting the use of corpora for comparative studies: a Type-Token-Ratio operation using the rather new MATTR-formula, an investigation of text coverage and a quantitative approach concerning conjunctions. Wewereabletoshowsomegeneralaspectsaswellasspecificdetailsofthelexical competence of 10-year old pupils in relation to their sociolinguistic profile. The results confirm our hypotheses and are in line with the findings of Danilovi} (2010: VIII; 88–103): Children who have acquired Slovene at home or before school and use the language also outside school achieve higher results and are closer to the Slovenian reference group. But we have also shown that groups with similar characteristics (VS 11/12, 1213e)exhibitdifferent degrees of proficiency. It is thus necessary to follow up on our results and especially build a Slovenian reference corpus of younger pupils’ texts. 182
