Entropy Rate Estimates for Natural Language—A New Extrapolation of Compressed Large-Scale Corpora

Ryosuke Takahira, Kumiko Tanaka-Ishii, Łukasz Dębowski, 2016. Entropy.

Estimates the entropy rate of natural language from very large corpora in six languages by extrapolating compression results to infinite text length. Their answer is that it stays above zero.
