ABSTRACT

In this paper, it is the first attempt to discuss and explore a possible extension of Hřebíček’s conjecture about a fractal structure of language from a natural language to a sign language. We will show that the approach by means of four versions of a formula for the Menzerath-Altmann law sensitively depends especially on a suitable segmentation of a given sign language structure and the way how to measure the length of sign language units. Some concrete examples of supporting arguments for the fractal structure of the sign language will be given in terms of the Czech sign language.

手势语言的分形分析

摘要

在本文中，这是首次尝试讨论和探讨赫雷比切克关于语言的分形结构从自然语言到手语的猜想的可能扩展。我们将表明，通过四种形式的Menzerath-Altmann法则的方法特别敏感地取决于给定手语结构的适当分割以及如何测量手语单位长度的方式。关于手语的分形结构的一些支持论据的具体例子将以捷克手语给出。
