Résumé / Abstract

In this paper, we will try to focus on a new area, may be a peculiar area of Linguistics. The micro problem of word formation will be related to the macro problem of language planning. As language has a statistical structure, planning depends a lot on the numeration of words and their morpho-syntactic analysis. Thus, planning aspects are related to the statistical analysis of the problem. This quantitative analysis is again related to the problem of economic planning. So, there is a vast area of research in this field of quantitative linguistics, which is directly linked to Economic Planning and Information theory.
