It draws upon data from the phonologies, morphologies, numeral systems, constituent orders, case systems, and lexicons of the world?s languages, bringing large datasets and sophisticated statistical techniques to bear on fundamental questions such as: how to identify and account for areal distributions, when language contact leads to grammatical simplification, whether patterns of morphological borrowing can be predicted, how to deal with contact within phylogenetic models, and what new techniques are most effective for classification of the world?s languages. The book is relevant for students and scholars in general linguistics, typology, and historical and comparative linguistics. 606 $aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 606 $aAreal linguistics 606 $aAreal linguistics$2fast 606 $aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics)$2fast 606 $aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology$2fast 615 0$aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 615 0$aAreal linguistics. 615 7$aAreal linguistics. 615 7$aLinguistic analysis (Linguistics) 615 7$aLinguistics$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a410 701 $aWichmann$b Søren$f1964-$01788343 701 $aGood$b Jeff$01788344 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954140903321 996 $aQuantifying language dynamics$94323148 997 $aUNINA
