摘要

本文报道了三个实验模型，利用动词形成过程来研究频率对语言结构的影响。第一个模型考察了频率对语言单元长度的影响。只有原型动词构成的平滑数据证实了这一假设。第二个模型测试了频率对单词形成结构深度的依赖性。所有主要的动词构成结构都有很好的拟合结果。第三个模型旨在研究频率对生产率（导数数量）的影响。平滑数据的结果表明，一个单位的使用频率越高，其导数就越多。这些结果可以澄清频率在语言协同机制中的某些方面的作用。特别是，研究表明，观测到的频率振荡可以被视为系统与其环境之间的对话。

Functional Role of Frequency in Word-Formation Processes: A System Theoretical Approach

ABSTRACT Three experimental models are reported in which verb-formation processes are used to investigate the effect of frequency on language structure. The first model examined the impact of frequency on length of a language unit. Only the smoothed data for the prototypical verb formation confirmed the hypothesis. The second model tested the dependency of frequency on the depth of a word-formation structure. Good-fitting results were found for all main verb-formation structures. The third model aimed to study the influence of frequency on productivity (number of derivatives). The results of smoothing data showed that the more frequently a unit is used, the more derivatives it has. The outcomes allow clarifying some aspects of functioning of frequency in the synergetic mechanisms of language. In particular, it was shown that the observed frequency oscillation could be considered as a dialogue between the system and its environment.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Quantitative Linguistics is an international forum for the publication and discussion of research on the quantitative characteristics of language and text in an exact mathematical form. This approach, which is of growing interest, opens up important and exciting theoretical perspectives, as well as solutions for a wide range of practical problems such as machine learning or statistical parsing, by introducing into linguistics the methods and models of advanced scientific disciplines such as the natural sciences, economics, and psychology.
