Eleanor Chodroff @echodroff.bsky.social · 03/06/2026My thoughts exactly! Yao (2009) (among others probably) looked at lexical frequency instead of length but it would be nice to try to tease those effects apart 100
Lisa Davidson @lisabdavidson.bsky.social · 03/06/2026As it turns out, word length was not significant in your results, Eleanor, but frequency was! (Chodroff and Wilson 2017, JPhon :) 110
Eleanor Chodroff @echodroff.bsky.social · 03/06/2026It has been about a decade / this is why we write things down. 😂 Someone could probably do a better job still of teasing them apart (hold length constant while checking frequency, yes I am questioning my own model; their natural correlation is giving me some pause now!) 100
