Book Review: Quantitative Syntax Analysis by Reinhard Köhler

چکیده
Quantitative linguistics (QL) is a discipline of linguistics, that, using real texts, studies languages with quantitative mathematical approaches, aiming to precisely describe and explain, with a system of mathematical laws, the operation and development of language systems. Later in this review, we will address the relationship between QL and computational linguistics. Quantitative Syntax Analysis is a recent work on QL by Reinhard Köhler that not only provides a comprehensive introduction to the work of QL on the syntactic level, but also sketches the theoretical grounds, the research paradigm, and the ultimate goals of quantitative linguistics in general.
