• Resumen

  • Probabilistic linguistics takes all linguistic evidence as positive evidence and lets statistics decide. It allows for accurate modelling of gradient phenomena in production and perception, and suggests that rule-like behaviour is no more than a side effect of maximizing probability. This chapter addressing the following issues: How far can probabilistic linguistics be stretched? What can data-oriented parsing (DOP) explain? How can probabilistic linguistics deal with language acquisition? What can Unsupervised DOP learn?
