vocabulary profiling

A vocabulary profiler seems similar to a 'prism'  for lexis. As you look directly to the light, you just see it as it is but when you look at it through a prism then you see it as the combination of different colors. It is same for lexis in a text. When you read a passage, it looks as it is but when you try to classify them according to their frequency or their function, then it becomes multi-colored. Additionally, I do not think that the same word will always have the same color in different genres because the way of reflecting the ideas are not same in every genre. For example, in poetry, poet says a word to reflect a different meaning through it whereas a story teller says the same word in a different purpose.So frequency of the same word in different genres is not same
