[Puzzles in language change] Kroch 1989

[Igor Yanovich]

Dear everyone, 

Tomorrow we will be discussing a classic paper by Tony Kroch "Reflexes of grammar in patterns of language change". It discusses the S-curve, actually uses some math, and importantly introduces a very prominent concept in (syntactic) change called the Constant Rate hypothesis. 

All the best,
 Igor
