The Graphical Law Behind the Head Words of Dictionary Kannada and English Written by W. Reeve, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged by Daniel Sanderson

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 29 Pages. A crucial mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the head words of the Dictionary Kannada and English written by W. Reeve, revised, corrected and enlarged by Daniel Sanderson.We draw the natural logarithm of the number of head words, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by BW(c=0.01),the magnetisation curve of the Ising Model in the Bragg-Williams approximation in the presence of external magnetic field, H. $c=frac{ H}{gamma epsilon}=0.01$ with $epsilon$ being the strength of coupling between two neighbouring spins in the Ising Model, $gamma$ representing the number of nearest neighbours of a spin which very large.Moreover, we put forth a parallelism with a Bengali dictionary.

A Burmese-English Dictionary, Part I-Part V, by J. A. Stewart and C. W. Dunn et al, Head Entries and the Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 18 Pages. A mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the head entries of A Burmese-English Dictionary, Part I-Part V, by J. A. Stewart and C. W. Dunn et al. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of head entries, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by the magnetisation curve of the Ising Model in the Bragg-Williams approximation in the absence of external magnetic field.

Complete Bulgarian-English Dictionary and the Graphical law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 24 Pages. A mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the Complete Bulgarian-English Dictionary by Constantine Stephanove. We draw thenatural logarithm of the number of head words, normalised, starting with a letter vs the naturallogarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by BP(4,βH=0.02) i.e. a magnetisation curve in the Bethe-Peierls approximation of theIsing model with four nearest neighbours with βH=0.02. H is external magnetic field, β is1/(k_B T), where, T is temperature and k_B is the tiny Boltzmann constant. Moreover, the Bulgarian languageappears to be dual to the Greek language to large extent.
