Abstract:
A number of formulas of linguistic statistics are refined. The notions of real and virtual cardinality of a sign are introduced. We show that a formula refining Zipf's law for the occurrence
frequencies in frequency dictionaries can be extended to arbitrary sign objects, i.e., semiotic systems.
