SYNERGETIC EVOLUTIONARY MECHANISMS IN THE MORPHOLOGY OF ENGLISH
The paper deals with a number of synergetic evolutionary processes in a natural language grammar. Dissipation processes underlying the unification of morphology are illustrated through the example of English morphology. The deep reorganization of morphology and, therefore, the whole grammar of the language is treated as a result of the transition to a labile equilibrium due to the increase in entropy.
