A novel method of exploring linguistic networks is introduced by mapping word-adjacency networks to time series and applying multifractal analysis techniques. This approach captures the complex structural patterns of language by encoding network properties—such as clustering coefficients and node degrees—into temporal sequences. Using Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll as a case study, both traditional word-adjacency networks and extended versions that incorporate punctuation are examined. The results indicate that the time series derived from clustering coefficients, when following the natural reading order, exhibits multifractal characteristics, revealing inherent complexity in textual organization. Statistical validation confirms that observed multifractal properties arise from genuine correlations rather than from spurious effects. Extending this analysis by taking into account punctuation equally with words, however, changes the nature of the global scaling to a more convolved form that is not describable by a uniform multifractal. An analogous analysis based on the node degrees does not show such rich behaviors, however. These findings reveal a new perspective for quantitative linguistics and network science, providing a deeper understanding of the interplay between text structure and complex systems. Full article

In the present study, we investigated the post-editese phenomenon, i.e., the unique features that set machine translated post-edited texts apart from human-translated texts. We used two literary texts, namely, the English children’s novel by Lewis Carroll Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (AW) and Paula Hawkins’ popular book The Girl on the Train (TGOTT). Both literary texts were Google translated from English into Brazilian Portuguese to investigate whether the post-editese features can be found on the surface of the post-edited (PE) texts. In addition, we examined how the features found in the PE texts differ from the features encountered in the human-translated (HT) and machine translation (MT) versions of the same source text. Results revealed evidence for post-editese for TGOTT only with PE versions being more similar to the MT output than to the HT texts. Full article

A majority of humans spend their waking hours surrounded by insects, so it should be no surprise that insects also appear in humans’ dreams as we sleep. Dreaming about insects has a peculiar history, marked by our desire to explain a dream’s significance and by the tactic of evoking emotions by injecting insects in dream-related works of art, film, music, and literature. I surveyed a scattered literature for examples of insects in dreams, first from the practices of dream interpretation, psychiatry, and scientific study, then from fictional writings and popular culture, and finally in the etymology of entomology by highlighting insects with dream-inspired Latinate names. A wealth of insects in dreams, as documented clinically and culturally, attests to the perceived relevance of dreams and to the ubiquity of insects in our lives. Full article
