Neat Theories, Messy Realities: How to Apply Absolute Definitions to Gradient Phenomena, 2014
"Neat Theories, Messy Realities" is a project that explores the structures of languages. Traditional definitions of language phenomena such as allomorphy (a type of relation between the forms of a language and their meanings) are stated in terms of absolute criteria. However, such definiti...

"Neat Theories, Messy Realities" is a project that explores the structures of languages. Traditional definitions of language phenomena such as allomorphy (a type of relation between the forms of a language and their meanings) are stated in terms of absolute criteria. However, such definitions are inadequate for describing the real complexity found in language data. As a result, our descriptions of languages are often inaccurate and incomplete, hindering both scholars and language learners. "Neat Theories, Messy Realities" examines data from Russian and other languages that have defied analysis. The goal is not to discard traditional definitions, but to determine standards for applying them even when absolute criteria are not met. Statistical methods are key to evaluating the data and establishing such standards. All the data related to this project have been archived in TROLLing (the Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics), an international open access archive for linguistic research data.
