A Data-free Universal Prior over Syntactic Structures
Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín, Ferm\'ın Moscoso del Prado Mart\'ın
The probabilities of syntactic structures in human languages are assumed to emerge fully from language-specific experience. Here, I show that a universal prior over syntactic struc…
Modelling the Diachronic Emergence of Phoneme Frequency Distributions
Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín, Suchir Salhan
Phoneme frequency distributions exhibit robust statistical regularities across languages, including exponential-tailed rank-frequency patterns and a negative relationship between p…
Measuring Grammatical Diversity from Small Corpora: Derivational Entropy Rates, Mean Length of Utterances, and Annotation Invariance
Fermin Moscoso del Prado Martin
In many fields, such as language acquisition, neuropsychology of language, the study of aging, and historical linguistics, corpora are used for estimating the diversity of grammati…
Universal Topological Regularity of Syntactic Structures
Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín
Despite their widespread use, the principles governing the organisation of syntactic dependency trees remain poorly understood. I analyse dependency trees from 124 typologically, g…
Analytical Determination of Fractal Structure in Stochastic Time Series
Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín
Current methods for determining whether a time series exhibits fractal structure (FS) rely on subjective assessments on estimators of the Hurst exponent (H). Here, I introduce the…
The thermodynamics of human reaction times
Fermín Moscoso del Prado Martín
I present a new approach for the interpretation of reaction time (RT) data from behavioral experiments. From a physical perspective, the entropy of the RT distribution provides a m…
