Translative uses methods quantitative linguistics, combinatorial associative grammar, lexicography, etc. It focuses on same aspects language historical phonetics, political ontology translational sees units research object.

1.1 Types of regressions and variables One of the most remarkable current trends in theoretical and applied linguistics is the evolution of the field towards more empirically rigorous and quantitative methods. In theoretical linguistics, after a long reign of generative approaches to grammar and their largely intuitive grammaticality judgments, there is now a lot of interest in, and work on, pr...

Given the increasing interest and development of computational and quantitative methods in historical linguistics, it is important that scholars have a basis for documenting, testing, evaluating, and sharing complex workflows. We present a novel open-source toolkit for quantitative tasks in historical linguistics that offers these features. This toolkit also serves as an interface between exist...

co-hosted by the Linguistic Association of Finland (SKY) in association with the Department of General Linguistics at the University of Helsinki. This workshop is both a continuation of the two previous QITL events held in 2002 and 2006 in Osnabrück, Germany, and the latest in the sequence of summer symposia arranged annually by SKY. We are grateful to a number of people and organizations for t...

Abstract Dolphins exhibit striking similarities with humans. Here we review them the help of quantitative linguistics and information theory. Various statistical laws language that are well-known in linguistics, i.e. Zipf’s law for word frequencies, meaning distribution, abbreviation Menzerath’s, have been found dolphin vocal or gestural behavior. The theory these suggests humans dolphins share...

LINGUISTICS, as every other empirical science, is a complex mixture of theory and observation. The precise nature of this mixture is still not too well understood, and in this respect the difference between linguistics and, say, physics is probably at most one of degree. This lack of methodological insight has often led to futile disputes between linguists and other scientists dealing with lang...

In this paper the Zipf-Mandelbrot law is revisited in the context of linguistics. Despite its widespread popularity the Zipf–Mandelbrot law can only describe the statistical behaviour of a rather restricted fraction of the total number of words contained in some given corpus. In particular, we focus our attention on the important deviations that become statistically relevant as larger corpora a...

This paper examines so-called a-prefixing in the speech of dialect speakers living in Appalachia. Building on existing empirical work, and leveraging results from a GoldVarb analysis, I posit the a-prefix realizes a morpho-pragmatic feature which expresses a range of related meanings, including surprise, unexpectedness, and newsworthiness. This range of meanings is encompassed in the linguistic...
