- Abstract
- In this paper we try to model certain features of human language complexity by means of advanced concepts borrowed from statistical mechanics. We use a time series approach, the diffusion entropy (DE) method, to compute the complexity of an italian corpus of newspapers and magazines. We find that the anomalous scaling index is compatible with a simple dynamical model, a random walk on a complex scale-free network, which is linguistically related to Saussurres paradigms. The network complexity is independently measured on the same corpus, looking at the co-occurrence of nouns and verbs. This connection of cognitive complexity with long-range time correlations also provides an explanation for the famous Zipfs law in terms of the generalized central limit theorem.
