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 Editor’s preface. The bookâ
€™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.
