Podcast on spurious correlations between social structures and linguistic structures
May 7, 2012 in Uncategorized
This week’s EU:Sci podcast includes an interview with me about my work on spurious correlations between social structures and linguistic structures (see my overview post here). Christos Christodoulopoulos challenges me to find a link between the number of children a family has and the basic word order they use. Complete nonsense with an important message: Any correlation is possible.
