The corpus included 4079 quantitative and mixed-methods studies published in ten prominent journals of Applied Linguistics. The articles were analysed and the statistical techniques used were aggregated by two current writers and four PhD students in TEFL. Results showed that descriptive statistics (40.04%) were by far the most commonly used technique followed by one-way ANOVA (14.91%), t-test (10.15%), and Pearson correlation (8.76%). Regarding the sophistication level of statistical use, about 78.77% (n = 4686) of the techniques were classified as basic, 14.49% (n = 862) as intermediate, and 6.74% (n = 401) as advanced. Clearly, most of the techniques were either basic or intermediate, with a significant higher percentage for the former. So, a person with basic knowledge of statistics could understand 69.03% of the papers published during 1986 to 2015. It is discussed that researchers should be updated on recent statistical knowledge if they wish to statistically comprehend research articles published in Applied Linguistics journals.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"26 1","pages":"48 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2017.1421498","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45244061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather, words group together in a non-random way to form phrases. Here, the world-wide web was searched for idiomatic expressions in three living and one extinct language: 1102 English, 1183 German, 1138 French and 1128 Latin phrases distributed into three categories, with high, middle and low frequencies. High-frequency phrases such as in addition to and as a matter of fact constituted 49.5% of all English phrases, but only 9.0% of the French and 2.5% of the German ones. The middle-frequency category with classical idioms such as a bitter pill or carved in stone comprised 34.9% of the English, 33.0% of the French, and 24.9% of the German phrases. Most French and German phrases were of low frequency. Latin phrases were found as often as French and more often than German ones in the world-wide web, and exhibited a frequency distribution similar to those of French and German. Frequency distributions yielded three main categories around similar maxima for all four languages, with differing relative proportions. The internet may prove useful for the quantitative comparison of languages.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"26 1","pages":"81 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2018.1451206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44814266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sum, this volume gives a good overview of the current state of the art in empirical linguistics, relying heavily on the particular subset of statistical methods applied. However, the title of the volume is at least partly misleading, since any links to current studies on Russian and quantitative Russian linguistics are missing. The focus is clearly placed on (statistical) corpus linguistics, wherein – as this volume shows – statistical methods can doubtlessly be applied fruitfully, albeit mainly embedded as an inductive tool with which to obtain general empirical tendencies. Taking into account the rich tradition of Russian quantitative linguistics – represented by outstanding scholars such as R. G. Piotrovskij, M. V. Arapov, J. A. Tuldava and J. K. Krylov, among many others – this volume seems to represent a ‘new’ beginning of the application of quantitative methods of Russian, but by no means of post-Soviet and Russian linguistics in general.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"27 1","pages":"83 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2018.1558835","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48787891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use these two factors as explanatory variables to train the computational classifier of random forests and evaluate the accuracy of their predictive power when selecting the existence/absence of sortal classifiers as response variable. Our results show that these two factors result in an excellent discrimination performance of random forests, even when taking into account sortal classifiers as an areal feature. However, the correlation between morphosyntactic plural markers and multiplicative bases is weaker than the correlation between sortal classifiers and plural markers plus multiplicative bases. We are thus able to provide novel insights with regard to probabilistic universals on sortal classifiers, and suggest an innovative cross-disciplinary approach to test the effect of implicational universals with computational methods.","PeriodicalId":45514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Linguistics","volume":"27 1","pages":"113 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09296174.2018.1523777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43034123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
