The Theory of Linguistic Channels in Alphabetical Texts
Overview
This book is a collection of papers on a mathematical/statistical theory concerning the deep-language structure of alphabetical texts. The theory does not follow the actual paradigm of linguistic studies, which consider neither Shannon's communication theory nor the fundamental connection that some linguistic parameters have with the reading skill and short-term memory capacity of readers.
The book proposes to young researchers and students - in the fields of cognitive psychology, theory of communication, information theory, phonics and linguistics, history of modern and ancient literatures, and stylometry - a possible theoretical framework which could allow one to further research the fundamental mathematical structure of human language. This research might enable academics to devise a mathematical theory that includes meaning, the great absent element - since Shannon's times - in our mathematical theories of human communication.
