The Quantitative Linguistics group around Prof. Dr. R. Harald Baayen investigates quantitative and probabilistic aspects of language and phenomena of language in human behaviour. The main research question here-by is, how humans learn the complex, seemingly non-deterministic patterns in everyday language.
As Quantitative Linguistics group we use the following perspectives and methods to conduct our research:
- experimental psychology
- cognitive and statistical modeling
- corpus linguistics
- phonetics
- morphology
- non-linear statistical inference tools (especially general additive models)
The Quantiative Linguistics group is member of the Tübinger Zentrum für Linguistik (TUEZ-Li) and works in close collaboration with the Center for Comparative Psycholinguistics (CCP) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.
