The law of brevity in macaque vocal communication is not an artifact of analyzing mean call durations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Words follow the law of brevity, i.e. more frequent words tend to be shorter. From a statistical point of view, this qualitative definition of the law states that word length and word frequency are negatively correlated.
