NP语序理论的统计比较

A Statistical Comparison of Some Theories of NP Word Order

Richard Futrell, Roger Levy, Matthew Dryer

摘要:

语言类型学的一个常见研究对象是名词短语中成分{指示、形容词、数词、名词}的顺序。我们的目标是预测这些命令在不同语言中的相对频率。在这里,我们使用泊松回归来统计比较这种变化的一些突出的帐户。我们比较了Cinque(2005)的特征系统与Cysouw(2010)和Dryer(准备中)的特征系统。在这种情况下,我们没有找到更喜欢Cinque(2005)或Dryer(准备中)模型的明确理由,但我们发现这两个模型都比Cysouw(2010)的模型更好地拟合类型数据。

英文摘要:

A frequent object of study in linguistic typology is the order of elements {demonstrative, adjective, numeral, noun} in the noun phrase. The goal is to predict the relative frequencies of these orders across languages. Here we use Poisson regression to statistically compare some prominent accounts of this variation. We compare feature systems derived from Cinque (2005) to feature systems given in Cysouw (2010) and Dryer (in prep). In this setting, we do not find clear reasons to prefer the model of Cinque (2005) or Dryer (in prep), but we find both of these models have substantially better fit to the typological data than the model from Cysouw (2010).
