Complex Networks of Human Language

I am interested in Chinese complex network properties, such as small world effect and scale-free distribution of degrees. I have done some work to display and analyze the complex network universal properties in Chinese co-occurrence networks, in which we define nodes as Chinese words and define links as significative co-occurrences between words in the same sentence. This work is based on some large Chinese tagged corpus with 60 million Chinese characters. Its research paper Chinese Co-occurrence Networks: Small world effect and Scale-Free Degree Distribution are submitted to some journal. From then on, I begin the analysis in Chinese syntactic dependency networks, and primary data displays the syntactic networks also share universal tendencies on complex networks with English and other languages, such as small world effect, scale-free distribution, hierarchical organization, betweenness centrality and Assortativeness. Meanwhile, some differences are discovered and will be analyzed further. It is my honor to have the chance to communicate with you. I believe it will be a happy and brilliant month for you, for me and for us.
