Redundancy and Syntactic Reduction
This is a series of corpus-based studies and production experiments on syntactic reduction and too what extent it is driven by redundancy/information density/predictability. Please follow the links below for more information -- some may be only accessible to HLP lab members or HLP lab guests.
