| Challenge: | Existing studies on linguistic efficiency have focused on the systematicity of forms, a key property of natural language. |
| Approach: | They propose to incorporate regularity across sets of forms in studies of efficiency in language . they use the Minimum Description Length approach to measure regularity and processing complexity . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that recursive numeral systems are more efficient with respect to regularity and processing complexity. |
