Quantitative Linguistics

数量语言学

 

A branch of linguistics which studies the frequency and distribution of linguistic units using statistical techniques. The subject has both a pure and an applied side: the former aims to establish general principles concerning the statistical regularities governing the way words, sounds, etc., are used; the latter investigates the way statistical techniques can be used to elucidate linguistic problems. Considerable use is made of corpora.

 

语言学的一个分支,用统计技术研究语言单位的频率和分布,这种研究有纯理论的和应用性的两个方面:前者旨在就支配词、音等单位使用方式的统计规律提出一些一般原则;后者研究如何用统计方法来阐释语言学问题。这种研究经常利用语料库。
