A statistical method for quantifying songbird phonology and syntax.
Songbirds are the preeminent animal model for understanding how the brain encodes and produces learned vocalizations. Here, we report a new statistical method, the Kullback-Leibler (K-L) distance, for analyzing vocal change over time. First, we use a computerized recording system to capture all song syllables produced by birds each day. Sound Analysis Pro software [Tchernichovski O, Nottebohm F...

It is a theory that has been most widely accepted in the realm of phonology, but has implications for all areas of linguistics. There are many linguists who accept OT while there are others who doubt its efficacy, especially with regard to providing a substantive theory of gra...
