Languages considered in typologcial research<br> </font> <br>

Dear friends,<br>
just a short (and maybe silly?) question: Is anybody aware of some
kind of statistics that considers to which extent the individual
languages of the world are dealt with in the typological literature?
It would be interesting to see where (and why !) there are both
lacunae and statistic 'peaks'. The issue could be refined if one
includes the classical linguistics domains such as phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics etc. Such a "World Atlas of
Linguistics Data" (just to give it a name) would not only help
motivating researchers to fill up lacunae, but also help
understanding what the reasons may be for certain preferences...<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Wolfgang<br>
