Relating Word Length to Morphemic Structure: A Morphologically Motivated Class of Discrete Probability Distributions
In this article an alternative way of accounting for the distribution of Word length as measured in terms of number of syllables per Word in texts of certain natural languages will be explored. A Standard synergetic account of word length distribution has been developed and investigated in depth by Altmann, Köhler, Wimmer and others (cf. Wimmer et al., 1994). In this approach, certain mathemati...
متن کاملModification of Probability Distributions Applied to Word Length Research
In linguistic modelling, a number of probability distributions must be modified because of different individual influences on the data and gradual shifts to new attractors. Several kinds of modifications, estimations and tests of already published models are presented for fitting purposes. *Address correspondence to: Gejza Wimmer, Mathematical Institute SAS, Stefánikova 49, SK81473 Bratislava, ...
متن کاملSimulation of Fixed Length Word String Probability Distributions
I. WORD STRING DISTRIBUTION SIMULATION The aim of this description is to provide a framework for simulating specific word string distributions whose general structure follows the structure of word string posterior distributions relevant for string recognition. For the specific case of string classes w 1 = w1, w2, . . . , wN of fixed length N with words wn ∈ V , with vocabulary size V = |V|, and...

متن کاملQuantization of Discrete Probability Distributions
We study the problem of quantization of discrete probability distributions, arising in universal coding, as well as other applications. We show, that in many situations this problem can be reduced to the covering problem for the unit simplex. Such setting yields precise asymptotic characterization in the high-rate regime. Our main contribution is a simple and asymptotically optimal algorithm fo...
