This might arise from costs for production/transmission – paper, storage, bandwidth. Keep in mind that we're studying complexity from the perspective of information theory. It would be interesting to see how these results align with other ways of measuring lang complexity. 6/6

So, is there any relation. to lang.-external variables? We found that larger communities tend to use more complex/efficient langs. We speculate that this might have to do with the importance of written communication in larger societies which favoring shorter messages. 5/6

A: it's a trade-off. Langs with higher complexity tend to produce shorter texts, i.e. are more efficient in communication. That means that a complex lang might offer more options to convey the same idea using fewer symbols. We also show that this is not a trivial relationship.4/6

If one lang is harder to process for an LM than another, this relationship holds across other LMs, text types, and even across symbolic levels (chars, words, BPE). But why would some langs evolve to be more complex, given the increased processing effort? 3/6

We trained 4 types of LMs (PPM, PAQ, LSTM, Transformers) on a corpus of 3 bn words across >6500 docs in >2k langs. Entropy rate distributions over LMs were surprisingly consistent. So, in this context, the choice of LM does not have a big impact on cross-linguistic studies. 2/6

If you are based in Leipzig, feel free to join us for our "Digital Methods" workshop next week. The event is part of the MECANO EU project ("mechanics of canon formation"):

Kürzlich erschienen: Deutsche Sprache. Zeitschrift für Theorie, Praxis & Dokumentation, Heft 3/24. Themenheft „Deutsch im Kontakt: Europäische & außereurop. Konstellationen im Vergleich“. Hg.: Barbara Hans-Bianchi & Doris Stolberg. Berlin: @ESVmedien 🔗 https://t.co/RYr6kjxrbM

DoReCo version 2.0 has been released! The corpus contains annotated language data from 53 low-resource and endangered languages. It is particularly suitable for cross-linguistic research on phonetics, phonology and morphology. More infos: https://t.co/lp7caKqhpd

Exciting job offer from BAdW Munich to work on the cutting edge of digital lexicography, with potential long-term perspective. Submit applications until 19 Jan 2025!
