The Art of Quantitative Linguistics

Pages 13-22 | Published online: 21 Jul 2008
 

Abstract

A linguist venturing on the thorny path paved with formulas has four problems to surmount: to characterize a phenomenon, to describe a course, to discover a dependency, and to explain the genesis of a language phenomenon. Each of these phases has its charms and difficulties. Each admits for an individual research style, but at the same time forces us to use objective procedures.
