语言辅音分布的复杂网络分析与综合

Analysis and Synthesis of the Distribution of Consonants over Languages: A Complex Network Approach

Monojit Choudhury, Animesh Mukherjee, Anupam Basu, Niloy Ganguly

摘要:

语言间的相似性反映在世界各地语言的语音系统中。在这项工作中,我们试图通过一个复杂的二分网络模型的辅音库存中观察到的相似性。我们提出了一个系统的研究,这些库存的一些有吸引力的功能的帮助下,二分网络。一个重要的观察结果是辅音的出现遵循两种状态的幂律分布。我们发现,一致的库存规模分布和优先依附原则是这种两个政权的行为出现背后的主要原因。为了进一步支持我们的解释,我们提出了一个综合模型,这个网络的基础上的一般理论的优先连接。

英文摘要:

Cross-linguistic similarities are reflected by the speech sound systems of languages all over the world. In this work we try to model such similarities observed in the consonant inventories, through a complex bipartite network. We present a systematic study of some of the appealing features of these inventories with the help of the bipartite network. An important observation is that the occurrence of consonants follows a two regime power law distribution. We find that the consonant inventory size distribution together with the principle of preferential attachment are the main reasons behind the emergence of such a two regime behavior. In order to further support our explanation we present a synthesis model for this network based on the general theory of preferential attachment.
