This is the first book which brings together the fields of
theoretical and empirical studies in syntax on the one hand and the
methodology of quantitative linguistics on the other hand. The
author provides the theoretical background for this enterprise on
the basis of the philosophy of science and of linguistic
considerations including a discussion of Chomsky's attitude against
the application of statistical methods to syntactic phenomena. He
gives a short introduction into the aims and methods of the
quantitative approach to linguistics in general and to syntax in
particular. The following chapters inform the reader about the
measurement of syntactic properties, possibilities to acquire
empirical data from syntactically annotated text corpora and the
most common mathematical models and methods for the analysis of
syntactic and syntagmatic material. Then, a number of prominent
approaches and hypotheses about interrelations between properties
of syntactic constructions are presented and evaluated on material
from various languages and text kinds. Finally, the theory of
synergetic linguistics and its application to syntax is introduced
including the integration of such famous hypotheses as Yngve's
depth hypothesis and Hawkins's "Early immediate constituent"
principle. The book concludes with a number of perspectives with
respect to follow-up studies and extensions to the presented models
with interfaces to neighbouring disciplines.
