Inferring universals from grammatical variation: Multidimensional scaling for typological analysis.

A fundamental fact about grammatical structure is that it is highly variable both across languages and within languages. Typological analysis has drawn language universals from grammatical variation, in particular by using the semantic map model. But the semantic map model, while theoretically well-...
