Non-linear Dynamics and Language Research
Zhang Wu-jiang · Journal of Chongqing Institute of Technology · 2004
Non-linear dynamics, which includes two important concepts as chaos and complexity, is a newly developed science. Chaos and complexity are two important theories of non-linear dynamics and key to the research of language, because language itself is also a dynamic system. This paper reviews briefly language research from the aspects of second language acquisition and language understanding in terms of non-linear dynamics method;moreover, it indicates that adopting non-linear dynamics analysis is one important method of future language research.
