Amatov A. M.

Information About Author:

The paper presents a view of order and disorder in the system of a natural language and its role in the system’s development and functionality. It is shown that the disorder level (entropy) of a natural language can both increase and decrease, which, in turn, speaks for self-organization processes occurring in a language.
