中文摘要：

复杂网络技术的发展为大数据时代的语言研究提供了新的视角。网络方法应用到语言研究的重要目的是探索语言网络的结构特征规律和功能演化规律。该文综述了以图论为基础的复杂网络发展及社会网络、语言网络的主要数学模型,试图从复杂网络共性特征——小世界、无标度特征中进一步剥离出语言网络的个性特征,为语言符号多层级网络结构、功能研究提供参考。

英文摘要：

Networks technology provides a new perspective for linguistics in the age of big data. Network method applied in language networks is to explore the structure of the law and the evolution of language network functions.. This article reviews the development of complex network based on Graph Theory and the primary mathematical modeling of social networks, language networks, aiming to strip personality traits of language networks out from the characteristics of complex networks, and giving more references for multi-level language networks studies.
