ENTROPY OF LANGUAGE SYSTEM AS MAIN DEVELOPMENT INDICATOR

Abstract

Article is devoted to the research of language system entropy. It is one of the main concept of synergetics and synergy. Entropy can be applied to description of language processes and detection of functioning and development features of language. Bilateral representation of entropy is caused by dichotomy of language and speech and it is feature of transference of entropy concept to linguistics area. Entropy can be representing by language entropy and speech entropy. These concepts are interdependent and interconnected, but not coinciding phenomena. Entropy existence is caused by language nature and it abilities to express all thoughts of native speakers. Entropy of natural language aspires to infinity. But language system never becomes language chaos, because negentropy counteracts entropy. Negentropy is negative entropy and it is measure of language system organization. Negentropy makes language by universal means of communication, which is cleared to all native speakers. Negentropy stabilizes system, but on the contrary entropy destabilizes system and staticizes changes in it. It process results in language development. Entropy of natural language will be never equal to zero, because zero indicator will be testify about impossibility of further development of language.
