Dear LINGTYP,

I am interested to know if anyone has calculated Greenberg's (1960)
index of synthesis for a large sample of languages.  (This is for
a tutorial on morphosyntax at NAACL-HLT 2012, trying to give
computational linguists a sense of the diversity of the world's
languages.)

Thanks,
Emily
