A simultaneous-equation regression model of language complexity trade-offs / Germán Coloma.
Tipo de material: TextoSeries Serie documentos de trabajo (Universidad del CEMA) ; n. 597Detalles de publicación: Buenos Aires : Universidad del CEMA, 2016Descripción: 21 pTema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: In this paper we develop a statistical model of language complexity trade-offs using four typological measures (related to phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon). The data come from the 100-language sample that appears in the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS), and the trade-offs are calculated using different types of correlation coefficients. All those coefficients are statistically insignificant when they are computed using a standard (product-moment) methodology, but they become significant when we use simultaneous-equation regression methods, especially the ones based on seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) and three-stage least squares (3SLS). These results are related to ideas suggested in the theoretical literature, especially in the one about language as a complex adaptive system.Tipo de ítem | Biblioteca actual | Signatura topográfica | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | |
