齐普夫定律与同义词过度使用的避免

Zipf's Law and Avoidance of Excessive Synonymy

Dmitrii Manin

摘要:

齐普夫定律指出,如果语言中的单词在文本中以频率递减的顺序排列,则单词的频率与其排名成反比。这是一个非常强大的实验观察,但到目前为止,它逃脱了令人满意的理论解释。我们认为齐普夫定律可能源于词义扩展和同义词竞争所主导的词义演变。

英文摘要:

Zipf's law states that if words of language are ranked in the order of decreasing frequency in texts, the frequency of a word is inversely proportional to its rank. It is very robust as an experimental observation, but to date it escaped satisfactory theoretical explanation. We suggest that Zipf's law may arise from the evolution of word semantics dominated by expansion of meanings and competition of synonyms.
