We use the extended Barabasi model without the rewired process and show that the degree distribution for the corresponding networks is the Tsallis distribution. We offer an analysis of the novel "The Sound and the Fury" by W. Faulkner in English and in Russian, and show that the degree distributions of the relevant word networks are described with the Tsallis distribution. We have constructed degree distributions for each of the relevant word networks and defined the value of the nonextensivity parameter with the maximum likelihood method. For the novel text in English qB = 1.57; qK = 1.49; qJ = 1.53; qA = 1.47; qT = 1.54, and for the translation into Russian qB = 1.50; qK = 1.42; qD = 1.46; qA = 1.40; qT = 1.47. Therefore, if the translation of the novel is regarded as mapping, the nonextensivity parameters ordering qB > qT > qD > qK > qA is an invariant of this mapping.
