Measuring Grammatical Complexity

by Frederick J. Newmeyer, Laurel B. Preston

Grammar, comparative and generalLinguisticsComplexity (Linguistics)GrammatikKomplexitätComparative and general Grammar

This book examines the question of whether languages can differ in grammatical complexity and, if so, how relative complexity differences might be measured. Chapters approach the question from the point of view of formal grammatical theory, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics, and take phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics into account.
