Predicting Word Order Universals. Merlo, P. Journal of Language Modelling, Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, September, 2015. doi abstract bibtex This paper shows a computational learning paradigm to compare andtest theories about language universals. Its main contribution lies inthe illustration of the encoding and comparison of theories about typologicaluniversals to measure the generalisation ability of these theories.In so doing, this method uncovers hidden dependencies betweentheoretical dimensions and primitives that were considered independentand independently motivated.
