Compression principle and Zipf’s Law of brevity in infochemical communication [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2022 Compression has been presented as a general principle of animal communication. Zipf’s Law of brevity is a manifestation of this postulate and can be generalized as the tendency of more frequent communicative elements to be shorter.

The Failure of the Law of Brevity in Two New World Primates. Statistical Caveats. [PDF]
Glottotheory, 2013 Abstract Parallels of Zipf’s law of brevity, the tendency of more frequent words to be shorter, have been found in bottlenose dolphins and Formosan macaques. Although these findings suggest that behavioral repertoires are shaped by a general principle of compression, common marmosets and golden-backed uakaris do not exhibit the law ...

Testing the Robustness of Laws of Polysemy and Brevity Versus Frequency [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2016 The pioneering research of G.K. Zipf on the relationship between word frequency and other word features led to the formulation of various linguistic laws. Here we focus on a couple of them: the meaning-frequency law, i.e. the tendency of more frequent words to be more polysemous, and the law of abbreviation, i.e.

The study of vocal communication in nonhuman primates, especially apes, offers critical insight into the origins of human language. Although human language represents a highly derived and complex form of communication, researchers have found that the organization of language follows a series of common statistical patterns, known as ‘linguistic laws ...
