语言多样性的尺度关系
Scaling relations for diversity of languages
摘要：
活的语言的分布进行了调查，并发现语言的多样性作为国家面积和人口的函数的缩放关系。这些结果进行了比较，从生态学的数据和计算机模拟的碎片动力学相似的缩放出现。语言的大小分布也进行了研究，并显示两个缩放区域：（一）一个最大的（人口）语言和（ii）另一个中等大小的语言。然后，这两类语言可能有不同的增长动态，分布在不同的分形维数的集合。
英文摘要：
The distribution of living languages is investigated and scaling relations are found for the diversity of languages as a function of the country area and population. These results are compared with data from Ecology and from computer simulations of fragmentation dynamics where similar scalings appear. The language size distribution is also studied and shown to display two scaling regions: (i) one for the largest (in population) languages and (ii) another one for intermediate-size languages. It is then argued that these two classes of languages may have distinct growth dynamics, being distributed on the sets of different fractal dimensions.
