Abstract

Like many other brain productions, language is a complex tool that helps individuals to communicate with each other. Many studies from computational linguistics aim to exhibit and understand the structures and content production. At present, a large list of contributions can describe and manage it with different levels of precision and applicability, but there is still a requirement for generative purposes. This paper is focused on stating the roots to understand language production from a combination of entropy and fractals. It is part of a larger work on seven rules that are intended to help build sentences automatically, in the context of dialogs with humans. As part of the scope of this paper, a set of dialogs are outlined and pre-processed. Three of the thermodynamic rules of language production are introduced and applied. Also, the communication implications and statistical evaluation are presented. From the results, a final analysis suggests that the exploration of fractals explanations of the entropy and entropy perspectives could provide a prospective insight for automatic sentence generation in natural language.

Summary

Introduction

There are biological foundations for considering that the human brain works following a certain set of rules. Karen Wynn [2] explains that the brain instinctively distinguishes mainly 1, 2, and many. Language structure has something similar: there is a singular treatment for one object and plural for many. It is very suggestive that in many languages (like in English and French), many words represent the treatment of couples, and many reflect a close relationship between 3 and many. As Sala Torrent explains [9] language distinguishes humans from the rest of the species. Natural Language (NL) seems to follow the laws of chaos and presents logarithmic and fractal behaviors.
