Quantitative Approaches to Universality and Individuality in Language

by Makoto Yamazaki (Editor), Haruko Sanada (Editor), Reinhard K�hler (Editor)

Founding Gabriel Altmann The series Quantitative Linguistics publishes books on all aspects of quantitative methods and models in linguistics, text analysis and related research fields. Specifically, the scope of the series covers the whole spectrum of theoretical and empirical research, ultimately striving for an exact mathematical formulation and empirical testing of observation and description of linguistic data, application of methods and models, discussion of methodological and epistemological issues, modelling of language and text phenomena. Quantitative linguistic research reveals fascinating patterns in contemporary and historical linguistic data. The book offers insights from a broad range of languages, including Japanese, Slovene and Catalan. The reader is convinced that statistic empirical analysis – and increasingly also machine learning and big data – should be an essential part of any serious linguistic enquiry.
