论文摘要
该立场论文研究了语言的形成,并显示了英语单词的结构特性与其多义之间的联系。在大的同义词图上使用ollivier-ricci曲率来估计多义,它的经验表明,可以说易于发音的单词也倾向于具有多种含义。
This position paper looks into the formation of language and shows ties between structural properties of the words in the English language and their polysemy. Using Ollivier-Ricci curvature over a large graph of synonyms to estimate polysemy it shows empirically that the words that arguably are easier to pronounce also tend to have multiple meanings.
