THE NETWORK OF HUMAN LANGUAGE AND PRINCIPLES OF A CORRESPONDING LANGUAGE MACHINE

The network of human language seen as a macromodel can be obtained by a series of measurements. For that purpose the well known investigations of Zipf were extended by considering also the possibilities of concatenation of words and groups of words. The appearing simple mathematical relations can be interpreted as a network. Furthermore layers of such networks are proposed in order to understand the structural coherence in larger word groups (thinking in contexts). Finally the principle of a corresponding technical arrangement, i. e. a language machine, are explained, by which the process of walking through the network of human language is simulated, thereby considering all the possible associative connections.
