A bias towards category clustering: new Language paper by Mansfield, Stoll & Bickel
In a new paper out in Language, ISLE members Sabine Stoll and Balthasar Bickel teamed up with John Mansfield (U Melbourne) for measuring the extent to which agreement markers cluster in their morphological placement
Combining corpus and typological data they discovered a universal, probabilistic bias towards coherent clusters. The effects is arguably grounded in learnability constraints.
