Book

Adaptive languages : an information-theoretic account of linguistic diversity

Bentz, Christian, author

نظرة عامة

\"Languages transmit information. They are vessels carrying meaning across metres, kilometres, and around the globe. This book harnesses information theory to measure word-level differences in more than 1200 languages. It further models geographic, demographic and social factors to explain the diversity of encoding strategies. The results support the framework of languages as complex adaptive systems which are shaped by the varying needs of their users.\" -- Page 4 of cover.
