摘要:

世界上各种语言的语音库会自我组织,产生类似的跨语言模式。在这项工作中,我们试图捕捉这种现象的自组织,形状的辅音库存的结构,通过一个复杂的网络方法。为此,我们定义了辅音的出现和共现网络,并系统地研究了它们的一些重要拓扑性质。一个重要的观察是,辅音在不同语言中的出现和共同出现遵循幂律分布。这一性质可以说是优先依附原则的结果。为了支持这一论点,我们提出了一个合成模型,它再现了网络的度分布,以接近。我们进一步观察到,辅音的共现网络显示出高度的聚类性,并随后改进我们的合成模型,以纳入这一属性。最后,我们将讨论偏好依恋如何通过语言的进化本质来体现。

英文摘要:

The sound inventories of the world's languages self-organize themselves giving rise to similar cross-linguistic patterns. In this work we attempt to capture this phenomenon of self-organization, which shapes the structure of the consonant inventories, through a complex network approach. For this purpose we define the occurrence and co-occurrence networks of consonants and systematically study some of their important topological properties. A crucial observation is that the occurrence as well as the co-occurrence of consonants across languages follow a power law distribution. This property is arguably a consequence of the principle of preferential attachment. In order to support this argument we propose a synthesis model which reproduces the degree distribution for the networks to a close approximation. We further observe that the co-occurrence network of consonants show a high degree of clustering and subsequently refine our synthesis model in order to incorporate this property. Finally, we discuss how preferential attachment manifests itself through the evolutionary nature of language.
