Comment on "Language Trees and Zipping" arXiv:cond-mat/0108530

Departmant of Chinese Literature and Language Anhui University Hefei Anhui 230039 China (Dated: February 12, 2018) every encoding has priori information if the encoding represents any semantic information of the un-verse or object.Encoding means mappingfrom the un-verseto thestringor strings of digits. The semantic here is used in the model-theoretic sense or denotation of the object.if Several statements that Benedetto et al.make in their Letter [1, 2]are not certainly true.First,We claim a statement that Benedetto et al.. make in their Letter and their reply [1, 2]has mixed strings of symbols with the objects or models the strings denote.In another word,strings of symbols are different from the object or model the strings denote except when the strings only denote themselves.Moreover,a statement of the comment on the Letter by Dmitry V. Khmelev et al.is inaccurate [3].That is,"Notice that the language tree (LT) diagram [1] does not include the Russian language (Slavic family of Indo-European family of languages: 288 10 Our computations show that once Russian is included, it does not cluster with the other members of the Slavic group. Obviously, certain Cyrillic alphabet based languages were left out of the study, which improves results significantly and shows that a priori information about the alphabet is being taken advantage of to achieve the results outlined in their Letter.". String of symbols and symbol may self-refer or refer to other object.When It refer to or denote another object,we say the object is model of the string of symbols or meaning (semantics) of the string of symbols [4, 5].The string of symbols represents the object or the model.Obviously when It refer to or denote Itself,the meaning or model and the symbol or string of symbols are the same.The alphabet or text(string of symbols) are not language.They are symbols or strings of symbols that just record the language Clearly,every encoding has priori information if the encoding represents any semantic information of the unverse or object.Encoding means mapping from the unverse to the string or strings of digits.
