The evolution of complex grammars: New study measures grammatical complexity of 1,314 languages

"In this study, we improved the by teasing out two distinct measures: (how many and have) and informativity (how many distinctions are made)."

Yeesh. Regardless of the merits of the study, this is extremely poor framing, especially a article, as it's really just asking if specifically are correlated with environment.

Spotted in c1966: saying "sneaked off" rather than "snuck off". The increased use of the latter is apparently a very recent development in (books.google.com/ngrams/graph?).

Spotted in c1966: "shall waken". We can suppose this in variation with "awaken" and take into account to an extent if we compare only when preceded by "shall". Unsurprisingly, "awaken" has always been more common in American when (books.google.com/ngrams/graph?), although these sort of pairs where the standard version is used intransitively could be interesting to look at further

I don't know anything about as it's spoken in , so I was a bit surprised to find "peoples" and "people's" in the speech of this man. (Me and my wife just got a , BTW, so if anyone has good tips, lemme know!)

BioMed Central - Phylogenetic congruence, conflict and consilience between molecular and morphological data - BMC Ecology and Evolution

New open access paper for those who enjoy phylogenies - especially those interested in the relationship between morphological and molecular data:

bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/

This work was led by Joe Keating. In it we explore the congruence of molecular and morphological data in combined phylogenetic analyses. To quote Joe's summary: Morphology and molecules are frequently analysed together, but these partitions are very different! Are they congruent?

Just learned that "tarp" is short for "tarpaulin". Who on Earth says that latter?? As far as is concerned, almost no one these days: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?

Sinuous Channels East Of Olympus Mons, Mars - Implications For Volcanic, Hydrological, And Tectonic Processes

"HIGHLIGHTS:
• [They] mapped channels and fossae within the volcanic plains east of Olympus Mons.
• Late Amazonian channels east of Olympus Mons formed by eruptions of lava or water.
• Fossae morphologies correspond to episodes of magmatic dike and sill emplacement.
• Loading of Olympus Mons may control magmatic ascent processes and eruption types..."

makes it hard to study in , but some features would be difficult even with very large due to being homophonous with a more frequent feature. One I've come across lately is "I hate it" where the "that" is more common, e.g. in response to seeing a scary clown image.

Apparently didn't understand in the 1960s and was a bit of a jerk about it.
