Abstract: The specific terminology of a specialty language comes, essentially, from specific uses of already existing words and/or from specific combinations of words so called “collocations”. In this work we introduce a new mathematical structure (enriched line graph) and a new methodology to extract properties and characteristics of a type of multilayer linguistic networks associated with these types of languages. Specifically, this work is focused on the description of a methodology based on a variant of the PageRank algorithm to locate the linguistic collocations and on defining a new structure (enriched line graph) that can be interpreted as a certain type of “interpolation” between the original graph and its associated line graph, showing new results, properties and applications of this concept, and, in particular, certain characteristics of the specialty language produced by the scientific community of complex networks.
