I wonder whether you are asking about the work of George K. ZIPF, whose studies in linguistics turned out to have wide applications in other fields. If so, you will find some information at http://everything2.com/title/Zipf%2527s%2520Law For additional informative sites, including some at Wiki Encyclopedia, search george zipf. Some of the articles use mathematical formulas to explain his work and his "law," but in each there are some explanations in plain language. One of the more interesting plain-language generalizations of Zipf's law is given at everything2:

A few things happen a lot, a bunch of things happen fairly often, and a lot of things rarely happen at all.
