Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study examines the performance of cognitive hypotheses for adjective ordering in 32 languages . linguists and cognitive scientists have proposed an array of hypothese predicting adjective ordering . |
| Approach: | They compare the combined performance of existing adjective ordering proposals across 32 languages . they propose to use a baseline that reflects random chance accuracy and a higher baseline that measures idealized order . |
| Outcome: | The proposed hypotheses are compared with baselines in 32 languages and with random and idealized baselines. |
