Abstract

Complex networks (graphs) are widely used by modern science
to model and analyze a variety of phenomena, including natural language. Networks
allow you to reflect in the model that is usually lost in the traditional
quantitative approach to the subject: the relations between the elements. Building
a network on a processed scientific text allows you to better visualize the
terminological system of the author, and to apply the some quantitative metrics,
most clearly showing fragments of the whole. The study is carried out on the
material of scientific texts by O. M. Freudenberg, A. F. Losev and E. M. Meletinskiy.
The results show differences in their approaches to terminological
system and the difference in style of presentation.
