In this article, we consider Zipf-Mandelbrot law as applied to texts in natural languages. We present a simple model of dependence of the law on the text size, which is featured by variable power-law tail and constant ratio of the most frequent words. As a result we derive several closed formulas, which accord with empirical data qualitatively and partially quantitatively. For example, there ap...

Weighted FSA and a cost function are used in order to determine the correct segmentation of complex forms: the correct segmentation for a given compound is supposed to be the one with the least cost. TAGH is based on a la...
