[Lingtyp] [EXTERN] adjective order

[Luigi Talamo]

Dear Nigel,
Annemarie Verkerk and I have worked on the adjective-noun order, among other word order patterns, in a parallel corpus of 11 IE languages, quantifying their variability through Shannon's entropy. Here's the reference

Luigi Talamo & Annemarie Verkerk. A new methodology for an old problem: A corpus-based typology of adnominal word order in European languages. Italian Journal of Linguistics 34(2):171-226

and the direct link:

Best,
Luigi
