The samples were selected based on the criterion of variety of shapes and functions, and not on the basis of their density.  According to Christiane Nord, super-segmental features are all those features of a textual organization, which are placed on lexical and syntactic segments, on sentences and paragraphs, thus creating the phonological configuration frame or the specific tone of the text. Nord [6 P. 131].  The particular framework of a text depends, above all, on the medium through which a text is being transmitted. In written texts, super-segmental features are expressed through visual aids, such as italics, spaces or words in bold, punctuation and quotation marks, hyphens, parentheses, and so on. In spoken language, super-segmental features are expressed by means of acoustic means, such as tone, variations in diction and volume, and so on [6. P. 141].
