Dependency Distances and Their Frequencies in Indo-European Language
Original language description
The present study investigates the relationship between two features of dependencies, namely, dependency distances and dependency frequencies. The study is based on the analysis of a parallel dependency treebank that includes 10 Indo-European languages. Two corresponding random dependency treebanks are generated as baselines for comparison. After computing the values of dependency distances and their frequencies in these treebanks, for each lan-guage, we fit four functions, namely quadratic, exponent, logarithm, and power-law func-tions, to its original and random datasets. The preliminary result shows that there is a rela-tion between the two dependency features for all 10 Indo-European languages. The relation can be further formalized as a power-law function which can distinguish the observed data from randomly generated datasets.
