| Abstract: | A new set of parameters to describe the behavior of word frequencies in texts is proposed. An analogy between the word frequency distribution and the Bose distribution is suggested, and the notion of “temperature” is introduced for this case. The calculations are made for English, Ukrainian, and the Guinean Maninka languages. A correlation between the language structure (the level of analyticity) and the defined parameters is shown to exist. |
