This is basically the same observation. Within the network for a text using natural language "nodes that become a local or global centre of the network" stand in fact for the key words. They even argue this way: "The word the is in a class of lexical items called function words [22]. Function words are the glue that binds content words together in sentences. These include articles, conjunctions, temporal and causal connectives, and prepositions. We may hypothesize that the most frequently occurring words in the VM - as in other natural languages - are function words" (Zelinka et al. 2019, p. 6). Like Montemurro and Zanette, they didn't realize that for the VMS the key words did change from page to page, from quire to quire, and from Currier A to Currier B (see Timm & Schinner 2019, p. 5 and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. on github.com). Montemurro as well as Zelinka are arguing that words co-occur with other words whereas I argue that words co-occur with similar ones.
