Summary/Abstract: The report presents the results of the work on creating of a research corpus of structurografically processed complex mixed sentences. The purpose of the created corpus is to compare the primary sketch, structure diagram and acoustic image of 500 complex mixed sentences. An analysis of 200 new sentences is also presented. The medium for statistical analysis of data - IBM SPSS Statistics v.19, has been used for the statistical processing of the data obtained from configuration syntactic analysis. In this way new information and new conclusions about the proportions in the sentence structure are being reached. It has been proven that the data obtained from each sample are valid for the whole work. An excerpt of 100 sentences from the novel “The Farm at the Border” by Yordan Yovkov and an excerpt of 100 sentences from the novel “Noah’s Ark” by Yordan Radichkov have been considered. The article also examines the quantitative distribution of the subordinate clauses in both novels in comparison with the data from a previous study of the novel “Antichrist” by Emilian Stanev. In conclusion, an algorithmic model and its operation have been presented, the knowledge of which gives way towards new evidence of the structural potential of the modern Bulgarian language.
