Description

The aim of this book is try to illustrate with numerous examples how  
quantitative methods can most fruitfully contribute to linguistic  
analysis and research. In addition, it does not intend to offer an  
exhaustive presentation of all statistical techniques available to  
linguistics, but to demonstrate the contribution that statistics can  
and should make to linguistic studies.

This book shows how quantitative methods and statistical techniques  
can supplement qualitative analyses of language. It attempts to  
present some mathematical and statistical properties of natural  
languages, and introduces some of the quantitative methods which are  
of the most value in working empirically with texts and corpora,  
illustrating the various issues with numerous examples and moving from  
the most basic descriptive techniques to decision-taking techniques  
and to more sophisticated multivariate statistical language models.
