Discovery of Kolmogorov Scaling in the Natural Language
We consider the rate R and variance σ 2 of Shannon information in snippets of text based on word frequencies in the natural language. We empirically identify Kolmogorov’s scaling law in σ 2 ∝ k - 1 . 66 ± 0 . 12 (95% c.l.) as a function of k = 1 / N measured by word co...
