Function to penalise extreme values

Function to penalise extreme values

I am carrying out analysis on a corpus of data and I am currently
investigating the frequency of words appearing in that corpus.
What I am looking for is a function which penalises large and small values
so that, instead of a graph of decreasing values as words become more
infrequent, I will be left with an approximation of a bell shaped curve.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
