Sažetak
In this paper we compared the properties of linguistic networks for Croatian, English and Italian languages. We constructed co- occurrence networks from parallel text corpora, consisting of the translations of five books in the three languages. We generated an Erdös-Rényi random graph with the same number of nodes and links, which enabled the comparison with linguistic co- occurrence networks, showing small- world properties. Furthermore, the comparison of Croatian, English and Italian linguistic networks showed that, besides expected commonalities of networks, there are also certain differences. The networks’ measures across the three studied languages differ particularly in the shortest path length. The results indicate that size of the corpus and anomalies in text affect the network structure.
