Morphosyntactic Variation in Medieval Celtic Languages : Corpus-Based Approaches [PDF]
, 2020 This book showcases the state of the art in corpus-based linguistic analysis of Celtic languages (specifically, Old/Middle Irish, Middle Welsh, and Cornish). It explores corpus approaches to morphosyntactic variation in the medieval Celtic languages and, for the first time, situates them in the broader field of computational and corpus linguistics by ...

Morphosyntactic Changes and Sociolinguistic Variation in the Language of Kyōgen [PDF]
Annali di Ca’ Foscari: Serie Orientale, 2023 The aim of this paper is to analyse morphosyntactic structures in the language of kyōgen – a traditional form of Japanese comic theatre developed in the fourteenth century – from a sociolinguistic perspective, i.e. by highlighting differences in usage

Monotonicity as an effective theory of morphosyntactic variation
Journal of Language Modelling, 2019 One of the major goals of linguistics is to delineate the possible range of variation across languages. Recent work has identified a surprising number of typological gaps in a variety domains.

Parameters and Language Contact: Morphosyntactic Variation in Dutch Dialects
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2023 The central issue addressed in this paper is the formal linguistic notion of parameter as a predictor for the (non-)occurrence of multiple linguistic phenomena. We start from a parametric analysis of a microvariational data set and we introduce a way of

Comparative analysis of morphosyntactic variation in Bantu languages [PDF]
Abstract Following a long tradition of historical-comparative work in Bantu, recent years have seen an increase in studies adopting systematic, parametric approaches to morphosyntactic variation in Bantu. In parallel with this, there have been a number of research projects to record and analyse typological data using large-scale online ...

A micro-parametric survey on typological covariation related to focus marking strategies, based on the Bantu Morphosyntactic Variation database [PDF]
Linguistique et Langues Africaines, 2023 This paper discusses typological tendencies of focus marking strategies from a cross-Bantu perspective based on the Bantu Morphosyntactic Variation (BMV) database, a large-scale database of morphosyntactic variation of Bantu languages built around 142 ...

Methodological triangulation in the study of acquisition of morphosyntactic variation
Language Learning and Development, 2023 The well-known sampling limitation of most longitudinal corpus data can be even more consequential in the study of morphosyntactic variation in child language. An analysis of caregiver input suggests that variable use in overlapping contexts may be hard to find by solely relying on corpus data collected under the sampling procedures that are typical in
