“…In our approach, the different metrics are compared in parallel and the differences or asymmetries are highlighted across languages. More importantly, the results about a higher density in the phonological layer for languages like French and English are consistent with linguistic reports which point out the presence of homophony and more opacity in these languages [ 31 , 33 , 36 , 37 ].…”

“…[ 30 – 35 ]. In fact, at the word level, the appearance of phenomena such as homophony and transparency in natural languages has been the subject of extensive study from the linguistic perspective [ 36 , 37 ]. On the other hand, the use of complex networks has been incorporated into systems analysis as the language where multiplex modeling is most appropriate.…”

A multiplex analysis of phonological and orthographic networks

The study of natural language using a network approach has made it possible to characterize novel properties ranging from the level of individual words to phrases or sentences. A natural way to quantitatively evaluate similarities and differences between spoken and written language is by means of a multiplex network defined in terms of a similarity distance between words. Here, we use a multiplex representation of words based on orthographic or phonological similarity to evaluate their structure. We report that from the analysis of topological properties of networks, there are different levels of local and global similarity when comparing written vs. spoken structure across 12 natural languages from 4 language families. In particular, it is found that differences between the phonetic and written layers is markedly higher for French and English, while for the other languages analyzed, this separation is relatively smaller. We conclude that the multiplex approach allows us to explore additional properties of the interaction between spoken and written language.
