Information distribution and language structure - correlation of grammatical expressions of the noun/verb distinction and lexical information content in Tagalog, Indonesian and German

这一主题是语篇层面词类形式分化的变异性的表现：名词/动词区别的不同形式表达是否与词形信息内容的差异相关？预测是，在名词和动词之间存在弱形式差异的语言中，语言信息的分布与在形式上存在强烈差异的语言中的分布不同。在这个项目中，我们将对他加路语(低N/V区分)、德语(强N/V区分)和印尼语(中间位置)进行比较。方法是根据其信息内容将词形分为缺省(即可预期的)和非缺省(即令人惊讶的)形式，并检查与语法上可定义的类别的相关性。技术输出是信息理论-概念实施的分析工具。

The topic is the manifestation of variability in the formal differentiation of word types at the discourse level: Does the different formal expression of the noun/verb distinction correlate with differences in the information content of the word forms? The prediction is that linguistic information is distributed differently in languages with weak formal differences between nouns and verbs than in languages with strong formal differences. In this project, Tagalog (low N / V distinction), German (strong N / V distinction) and Indonesian (intermediate position) will be compared.The methodology is to classify word forms on the basis of their information content into default (i.e. expectable) and non-default (i.e. surprising) forms and to check correlations with grammatically definable classes.The technological output is an analysis tool with the implementations of information theory-concepts.
