    • Compression and the origins of Zipf's law for word frequencies 

      Ferrer Cancho, Ramon (2016-11-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Here we sketch a new derivation of Zipf's law for word frequencies based on optimal coding. The structure of the derivation is reminiscent of Mandelbrot's random typing model but it has multiple advantages over random ...

    • La distribución del tamaño de las ciudades: la Ley de Zipf revisitada 

      Roca Cladera, Josep; Arellano Ramos, Blanca (Centre de Política de Sòl i Valoracions / Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, 2010-10)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Diversos autores (Berry 1970, Krugman 1996 o Eaton y Eckstein 1997, entre muchos otros) han experimentado asombro acerca de cómo en la mayor parte de lugares se cumple con una claridad meridiana la ley del "mínimo esfuerzo" ...

    • Does the size matter? Zipf's law for cities revisited

    • Emergence of linguistic laws in human voice 

      González Torre, Iván; Luque Serrano, Bartolo; Lacasa, Lucas; Miramontes, Octavio; Hernández Fernández, Antonio (2017)
      Comunicació de congrés
      Accés obert
      Linguistic laws constitute one of the quantitative cornerstones of modern cognitive sciences and have been routinely investigated in written corpora, or in the equivalent transcription of oral corpora. This means that ...

    • The challenges of statistical patterns of language: the case of Menzerath's law in genomes 

      Ferrer Cancho, Ramon; Forns Fradera, Núria; Hernández Fernández, Antonio; Bel Enguix, Gemma; Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume (2013-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The importance of statistical patterns of language has been debated over decades. Although Zipf's law is perhaps the most popular case, recently, Menzerath's law has begun to be involved. Menzerath's law manifests in ...

    • The evolution of the exponent of Zipf's law in language ontogeny 

      Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Elvevag, Brita; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon (2013-03-13)
      Article
      Accés obert
      It is well-known that word frequencies arrange themselves according to Zipf's law. However, little is known about the dependency of the parameters of the law and the complexity of a communication system. Many models of the ...

    • The exponent of Zipf’s law in language ontogeny. 

      Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon (World Scientific Publishing, 2012)

    • The infochemical core 

      Hernández Fernández, Antonio; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon (2016-06-07)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Vocalizations, and less often gestures, have been the object of linguistic research for decades. However, the development of a general theory of communication with human language as a particular case requires a clear ...

    • The origins of Zipf's meaning-frequency law 

      Ferrer Cancho, Ramon; Vitevitch, Michael S. (2018-11)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In his pioneering research, G.K. Zipf observed that more frequent words tend to have more meanings, and showed that the number of meanings of a word grows as the square root of its frequency. He derived this relationship ...

    • Zipf’s laws of meaning in Catalan 

      Catala Roig, Neus; Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon; Padró, Lluís; Hernández Fernández, Antonio (Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2021-12-16)
      Article
      Accés obert
      In his pioneering research, G. K. Zipf formulated a couple of statistical laws on the relationship between the frequency of a word with its number of meanings: the law of meaning distribution, relating the frequency of a ...
