Dictionary of Early English by Joseph T. Shipley and The Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 22 Pages. A mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the words of the Dictionary of Early English by Joseph T. Shipley. We draw the naturallogarithm of the number of 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 BP(4,βH = 0.02), i.e. the magnetisation curve in the the Bethe-Peierls approximation of the Ising model, in the presence of four nearest neighbours and little external magnetic field, H, with βH = 0.02. β is 1/(k_B T), where, T is temperature and k_B is the tiny Boltzmann constant.

A New Dictionary of the Portugese and English Languages Enriched by H. Michaelis and the Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas
Comments: 20 Pages. A mistake in plotting BW(c=0.01) has been rectified

We study the Portugese head entries of A New Dictionary of the Portugese and English Languagesenriched by H. Michaelis. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of head entries, nor-malised, 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, BP(4,βH = 0), in the Bethe-Peierls approximation of the Ising model, in the presence of four nearest neighbours and in the absence of external magnetic field, H. β is 1/(k_B T), where, T is temperature and k_B is the tiny Boltzmann constant.
