Information Theory and Language | MDPI Books
Human language is a system of communication. Communication, in turn, consists primarily of information transmission. Writing about the interactions between information and natural language, we cannot fail to mention that information theory has originated with statistical investigations of English text in the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. This book consists of twelve contributions that cover various recent research areas at the interface of information theory and linguistics.
