Quantifying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Language… : DASH Story 2013-01-29
Story content
As an anthropologist with a minor in English, I find the irregularities of the English language infinitely interesting. As a mother trying to explain to my super intelligent and mathematically inclined 8 year old daughter why English uses rules (sometimes competing ones) from Germanic AND Romance languages, I find the irregularities of the language problematic at best. Her class is now studying irregular and regular verbs and I am delighted to be able to pass this article along to her teacher. Thank you so much for making this article open access.
