Exploratory Research on Prefixal Network in Spanish

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to do an exploratory research of the network of the spanish prefixes. First, we analyze and compare the classifications done by three bibliographical sources to establish a semantic classification of the prefixes; secondly, we will create a graph not directed and weighted in that the nodes are the prefixes and the edges, the shared meanings. Hereby, the prefix A will be related to the B if they share meant, that is to say, if it has meant that they can create both prefixes. We will analyze the global measures of this graph and his subgraphs focusing on his density, modularity and degree of clustering, we will establish his communities and will study two measures of centrality, the closeness and the betweenness centrality
