Quantitative Linguistics is a rapidly developing discipline covering more and more areas of linguistic and textological research. The book represents an overview of the state of the art in Quantitative Linguistics, its scope and reach. Some of the topics: linguistic laws, frequency analyses, synergetic models of language, networks, part-of-speech systems, authorship attribution, polyfunctionality and polysemy, and opinion target identification.

Lexical diversity measures are notoriously sensitive to variations of sample size and recent approaches to this issue typically involve the computation of the average variety of lexical units in random subsamples of fixed size. This methodology has been further extended to measures of inflectional diversity such as the average number of wordforms per lexeme, also known as the mean size of paradigm (MSP) index. In this contribution we argue that, while random sampling can indeed be used to increase the robustness of inflectional diversity measures, using a fixed subsample size is only justified under the hypothesis that the corpora that we compare have the same degree of lexematic diversity. In the more general case where they may have differing degrees of lexematic diversity, a more sophisticated strategy can and should be adopted. A novel approach to the measurement of inflectional diversity is proposed, aiming to cope not only with variations of sample size, but also with variations of lexematic diversity. The robustness of this new method is empirically assessed and the results show that while there is still room for improvement, the proposed methodology considerably attenuates the impact of lexematic diversity discrepancies on the measurement of inflectional diversity.

In this paper, we studied, from a synergetic perspective, the relationship between the structural complexity and frequency of simplified Chinese characters. We measured the structural complexity of simplified Chinese characters by both the number of strokes and the number of components. Then, we tested whether the relationship between simplified Chinese character’s structural complexity and their frequency fits Zipf’s law by analyzing the most frequent 3061 simplified Chinese characters from the Chinese Character Frequency Dictionary. The result shows that the relationship between simplified Chinese characters’ structural complexity of both measurements and the frequency of those Chinese characters abides by the Zipf-Mandelbrot law.
