Abstract: Based on the large-scale MicroBlog text corpus, three different Microblog word co-occurrence language networks are constructed, and their network characteristics are analyzed by using complex network analysis tools. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the feasibility of applying complex network analysis methods to the MicroBlog text for studying MicroBlog language network’s special characteristics. The experimental results show that the complex network methods are feasible for MicroBlog text. MicroBlog text characteristics are described by the complex network’s parameters, such as degree distribution, clustering coefficient, average shortest path, etc. This research extends the applications of complex network methods into linguistics domain, and provides an effective data mining method on MicroBlog text based on complex network.

Key words: MicroBlog, language characteristics, language network, complex network
