The Oxford Spanish Dictionary and The Graphical Law

Authors: Anindya Kumar Biswas

We study the Spanish head entries of The Oxford Spanish Dictionary, Spanish-English. English-Spanish, the fourth edition, 2008. We draw the natural logarithm of the number of the Spanishhead entries, normalised, starting with a letter vs the natural logarithm of the rank of the letter, normalised. We conclude that the Dictionary can be characterised by BP(4,βH=0.01) i.e. a magnetisation curve in the Bethe-Peierls approximation of the Ising model with four nearest neighbours in the presence of external magnetic field, H, with βH = 0.01. β is1/(k_B T), where, T is the ambient temperature and k_B is the tiny Boltzmann constant.
