Figure 1 systematizes the percentages obtained in the calculation of ex-
ternal (U) and internal (I) uniformity for football terms: the first number of
each pair of results represents the unweighted uniformity (U, I) and the
second number the weighted uniformity (U’, I’); the results displayed on
the horizontal lines are the percentages of uniformity (U/U’) between EP
and BP in the 1950s, 1970s and 2000s, which answer question (1); the re-
sults shown on the vertical and diagonal lines are the percentages of U/U’
obtained from one time period to another and between the different time
periods, also providing the answer to question (2); the results associated to
each variety and time period are the percentages of internal uniformity (I/I’)
and the answer to question (3).

convergence between the 1950s and 1970s and subsequent stability, but
there are no significant changes in U percentages. U’ rises 11.39% between
