Description

Measuring Grammatical Complexity explores whether languages can differ in grammatical complexity and how to measure such differences. This volume approaches the question from various theoretical perspectives, including formal grammar, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics.

The book examines key issues in grammatical complexity, considering phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic factors. It investigates the 'trade-off problem' and interpretive complexity, providing insights into how to assess overall complexity. This collection of research brings together distinguished scholars in linguistics, making it a valuable resource for those working in related fields.
