Studying Lexical Dynamics and Language Change via Generalized Entropies: The Problem of Sample Size
Recently, it was demonstrated that generalized entropies of order α offer novel and important opportunities to quantify the similarity of symbol sequences where α is a free parameter. Varying this parameter makes it possible to magnify differences between different texts at specifi...
