Little Oxford English Dictionary and the Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 40 Pages. A mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the Little Oxford English Dictionary. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of entries and headwords normalised, respectively, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised as well as unnormalised. We observe that the plots of the entries and the headwords are almost the same. We find that the entries and the headwords underlie a magnetisation curve of a Spin-Glass in presence of little external magnetic field.
