description

The aim of this paper is to make a contribution to the study of the functional organization of phonological units, by assuming the theoretical and methodological perspective of mathematical Chaos Theory. Indexes of structuration and redundancy of the systems that contain these kinds of units are defined and a sample of languages is analyzed following this criterion. The treatment of the data in statistical terms, i.e. the number of phonological units of a language, indexes of structuration and the relationship between the number of phonological units and indexes of structuration, reveals a meaningful distance to normal distribution. The treatment of the data by means of Lyapunov test permits us to affirm that the analyzed situation belongs to those in which processes of chaotic nature are involved.
