      ab: The article comments on "Inferring universals from grammatical variation: Multidimensional scaling for typological analysis," by William Croft and Keith T. Poole. The focus is on: the limitations of the method used by Croft and Poole to generalize semantic mapping for use in linguistic typology; language comparison via the Optimal Classification Nonparametric Unfolding algorithm; and the recognition of pairwise similarities in sets of languages or comparative concepts.
