The Dynamics of Language and Linguistics Structure

In everyday life, language also serves equally important social and emotional functions. Linguists are interested in models of how language is organized in the mind and how the social structures of human communities shape language, reflecting those structures in expression and interpretation. This work aims to examine the structural properties of language from the perception of language evolution and thereby, elucidate the emergence of certain universal characteristics of languages, and those which try to exploit the network based representations to develop certain useful practical systems such as machine translation, information retrieval and summarization systems.
