{"title":"The meaning distributions on different levels of granularity","authors":"T. Yih, Haitao Liu","doi":"10.53482/2023_54_405","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53482/2023_54_405","url":null,"abstract":"The meaning distributions of certain linguistic forms generally follow a Zipfian distribution. However, since the meanings can be observed and classified on different levels of granularity, it is thus interesting to ask whether their distributions on different levels can be fitted by the same model and whether the parameters are the same. In this study, we investigate three quasi-prepositions in Shanghainese, a dialect of Wu Chinese, and test whether the meaning distributions on two levels of granularity can be fitted by the same model and whether the parameters are close. The results first show that the three models proposed by modern quantitative linguists can both achieve a good fit for all cases, while both the exponential (EXP) model and the right-truncated negative binomial (RTBN) models behave better than the modified right-truncated Zipf-Alekseev distribution (MRTZA), in terms of the consistency of the goodness of fit, parameter change, rationality, and simplicity. Second, the parameters of the distributions on the two levels and the curves are not exactly the same or even close to each other. This has supported a weak view of the concept of ‘scaling’ in complex sciences. Finally, differences are found to lie between the distributions on the two levels. The fine-grained meaning distributions are more right-skewed and more non-linear. This is attributed to the openness of the categories of systems. The finer semantic differentiation behaves like systems with open set of categories, while the coarse-grained meaning distribution resembles those having a close set of few categories.","PeriodicalId":51918,"journal":{"name":"Glottometrics","volume":"93 1","pages":"13-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74544443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It may, to some degree, reflect the degree of a speaker’s intention to communicate certain themes. There has been limited empirical research on the similarity between Trump and Putin with respect to their linguistic features. Thus, the present study aims to compare Putin’s and Trump’s stylometric features and political themes based on thematic concentration with a corpus of Putin’s, Medvedev’s, Trump’s, and Obama’s speeches. Results show that 1) Both Putin’s and Trump’s speeches’ thematic concentration values are significantly or marginally significantly different from their precedents’. 2) Two leaders pay great attention to the concept of nationalism. 3) Thematic words of their speeches were slightly different across periods, reflecting the influence of external factors on the choice of language. The results of the present study may shed light on the stylometric studies of Putin and Trump.","PeriodicalId":51918,"journal":{"name":"Glottometrics","volume":"1 1","pages":"39-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86828865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also suggest some improvements that need to be checked further. We calculate the values of parameters at various points of text comprising N tokens (running words) counted from the beginning of text. As parameters with prospects of author and/or language attribution we identify, in particular, the h-point scaling coefficient, Yule’s K, relative repeat rate, and the fraction of dis legomena. These parameters demonstrate quite stable behavior in N. Another set includes scaling exponents of parameters with respect to N. Certain modifications are suggested for Lambda and entropy introducing logarithmic corrections being powers of ln N. The results are applicable for texts of thousands to tens of thousand words.","PeriodicalId":51918,"journal":{"name":"Glottometrics","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78954329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, correlation tests were conducted between word frequency ranks, pandemic data, and word meaning change ratio. Results indicated that the frequency of some hot words changed with both pandemic data and the frequency of other hot words, which were significantly correlated with the American pandemic data rather than that of China. Moreover, February of 2020 saw the most distinctive semantic changes marked by a large part of the nearest neighbors for WAR metaphors. The correlations between changes in the frequency and nearest neighbors of COVID-19 related hot words exhibited some acceptable peculiarities. This study proves the availability of studying discourse through language change by observing minor semantic change on connotation level from social media, which adds a new perspective to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":51918,"journal":{"name":"Glottometrics","volume":"875 1","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76981092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing studies of the narratological distinction of this novel are primarily qualitative. This article conducted a corpus-driven study of the variation of styles in this novel from the perspectives of word cluster, type-token ratio, descriptivity and activity, keyness, and sentiment. The cluster analysis shows that the choice of words in the narrative chapters is more consistent than that in the intercalary chapters. The type-token ratio analysis testifies to the heterogeneity of the intercalary chapters in terms of lexical richness. The descriptivity and activity analysis and the keyness analysis reveal that the narrative chapters are more active than the intercalary chapters. The sentiment analysis finds that the novel is pervaded by negative sentiments and that negative sentiments are more prevalent in the narrative chapters than in the intercalary chapters. The research concludes that the corpus-driven study can provide insights into the narrative structure and the stylistic variation of the novel.","PeriodicalId":51918,"journal":{"name":"Glottometrics","volume":"10 1","pages":"21-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78928455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
