Description: Complexity, Isolation, and Variation, Hardcover by Baechler, Raffaela (EDT); Seiler, Guido (EDT), ISBN 3110347385, ISBN-13 9783110347388, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Linguists analyze the structural complexity of natural languages, focusing on three aspects. First, assuming that complexity has to do with change, they focus on different types of varieties to help understand the diachronic pathways leading to both complexification and simplification of languages. Second, they test hypotheses about possible relationships between structural complexity and sociolinguistic factors such as isolated communities, lack of dialect contact, and lack of second-language learners. Third, they address how to measure complexity adequately enough to make substantial claims about variation and change in language complexity. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
