Abstract

Here a statistical fractal model is introduced to explain the observed scaling along six orders of magnitude for the average linguistic diversity within geographic areas. It is conjectured that the same model could be relevant to explain some aspects of the species-area curves in ecological studies.

一种具有生物学意义的分形语言多样性区域尺度模型

本文引入统计分形模型来解释地理区域内平均语言多样性沿六个数量级的尺度变化。我们推测，同样的模型也适用于解释生态学研究中物种-面积曲线的某些方面。
