Example
- Information theory provides a useful tool for exploring variation and for quantifying the predictability/organization of patterns e.g. in morphological systems (Ackerman and Malouf 2013). (Gutierrez-Vasques, Bentz, Sozinova & Samardzic, 2021)
- Information theory tells us that the presence of a given morpheme restricts the possibilities of the occurrence of morphemes to the left and right thus lowering the amount of bits needed to store its neighbors. (Cavar, Herring, Ikuta, Rodrigues & Schrementi, 2004)
