自从齐普夫的著作问世以来（尤其是齐普夫 1932、1935），他的假设“总体而言，词语的大小往往与出现的次数成反比（不一定成正比）关系”（1935：25）已被普遍接受。 Zipf 使用德国数据，即 Kaeding (1897-98) 的频率词典，说明了单词长度与单词出现频率之间的关系。在过去的一个世纪里，齐普夫的思想被反复采纳并针对具体问题进行检验。纵观与这一假设相关的相关工作，人们不可避免地会产生这样的印象：迄今为止还有相当多的问题尚未解决。这主要是因为所涉及的不同方法的基本原理尚未得到系统的审查。其中一些未解决的问题可以概括为以下几点：
Since the appearance of Zipf’s works, (esp. Zipf 1932, 1935), his hypothesis “that the magnitude of words tends, on the whole, to stand in an inverse (not necessarily proportionate) relationship to the number of occurrences” (1935: 25) has been generally accepted. Zipf illustrated the relation between word length and frequency of word occurrence using German data, namely the frequency dictionary of Kaeding (1897–98). In the past century, Zipf’s idea has been repeatedly taken up and examined with regard to specific problems. Surveying the pertinent work associated with this hypothesis, one cannot avoid the impression that there are quite a number of problems which have not been solved to date. Mainly, this seems to be due to the fact that the fundamentals of the different approaches involved have not been systematically scrutinized. Some of these unsolved problems can be captured in the following points:
