Physicists' papers on natural language from a complex systems viewpoint
About this page
We aim at listing all papers by physicists, or published in physics journals, on natural language from a
complex systems
viewpoint. This web page was created and is maintained by
Eduardo G. Altmann.
Please help me sending papers that belong to this list to
edugalt (AT) pks.mpg.de or by contributing to the corresponding group "Physics papers in natural languages" in Mendeley.
Many thanks to
Gustavo B. de Oliveira for the new page layout!
