Automatization of functions determination and productivity of terms in terminology systems

The essence of the problem is the complexity of the analysis of large-scale terminology systems containing hundreds or thousands of terms. To solve this problem it is suggested to use the method of network analysis proposed by E. F. Skorohodko. The method involves the representation of the terminology system in the form of a matrix and the separation of the initial, derivative and final terms, as well as the definition of their productivity.

Statistics of words occurrences in natural and random texts

We study experimentally statistical distributions that describe the appearance of words in a number of natural texts, as well as in the random texts derived on their basis. It is shown that the probability mass function of the respective intervals between words is practically the same for the natural and random texts and manifests a fat tail, which is inconsistent with purely stochastic character of those intervals.
