This book collects research contributions concerning quantitative
approaches to characterize originality and universality in
language. The target audience comprises researchers and experts in
the field but the book may also be beneficial for graduate
students. Creativity might be considered as a morphogenetic process
combining universal features with originality. While quantitative
methods applied to text and music reveal universal features of
language and music, originality is a highly appreciated feature of
authors, composers, and performers. In this framework, the
different methods of traditional problems of authorship attribution
and document classification provide important insights on how to
quantify the unique features of authors, composers, and styles.
Such unique features contrast, and are restricted by, universal
signatures, such as scaling laws in word-frequency distribution,
entropy measures, long-range correlations, among others. This
interplay between innovation and universality is also an essential
ingredient of methods for automatic text generation. Innovation in
language becomes relevant when it is imitated and spread to other
speakers and musicians. Modern digital databases provide new
opportunities to characterize and model the creation and evolution
of linguistic innovations on historical time scales, a particularly
important example of the more general problem of spreading of
innovations in complex social systems. This multidisciplinary book
combines scientists from various different backgrounds interested
in quantitative analysis of variations (synchronic and diachronic)
in language and music. The aim is to obtain a deeper understanding
of how originality emerges, can be quantified, and propagates.
