The first part of this dissertation deals with information theory. Shannon’s Information Theory is explained and addressed in context to language. The second part of the dissertation is on aspects of randomness and complexity. In addressing randomness and complexity, the work of Chaitin, Kolmogrov, and Solomonoff is reviewed with questions raised that deal with the fundamental levels of both randomness and complexity.
