dc.description.abstractCommunication problems can be studied and solved through the application of coding techniques and Information Theory. This thesis is divided into two parts. Part A presents some of the problems of data transmission and terminology of Information Theory. Following this, a survey of the recent developments in Communication Theory, such as the multiple-user communication and the Viterbi Algorithm is included. In Part B the method of Shannon is used to estimate the various entropy values of printed Bahasa Malaysia. This makes use of the fact that natural languages can be considered as ergodic processes and any sequence of symbols, such as letters, words and sentences is predictable to some extent. Letter, digram and word statistics of Bahasa Malaysia were obtained and tabulated. Following this, a series of prediction experiments were carried out with the help of human subjects. From these two sets of data, the upper and lower entropy bounds and redundancy of Bahasa Malaysia were obtained. A comparison between the entropies of printed English and Bahasa Malaysia is also included.en_US
