This volume contains a collection of contributions to the science
of language, focusing on the study of word length in particular.
Within a synergetic framework, the word turns out to be a central
linguistic unit, as is clearly outlined in the Editora (TM)s
preface. The booka (TM)s first chapter is an extensive introduction
to the history and state of the art of word length studies.
The studies included unify contributions from three important
linguistic fields, namely, linguistics and text analysis,
mathematics and statistics, and corpus and data base design, which
together give a comprehensive approach to the quantitative study of
text and language and word length studies.
The broad spectrum of word length studies covered within this
volume will be of interest to experts working in the fields of
general linguistics, text scholarship and related fields, and,
understanding language as one example of complex semiotic systems,
the volume should be of interest for scholars from other fields as
well.
