A probabilistic assessment of the Indo-Aryan Inner-Outer Hypothesis1footnote 11footnote 1To appear in Journal of Historical Linguistics 10.1 (https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/22102124).
Table 4: Accuracy scores for select sound change distributions for (left) and averaged across environments (right); in both tables, values for the Dirichlet model are on the left, while values for the Logistic Normal model are on the right
['[EMPTY]', 'Dirichlet', 'Logistic Normal']
In addition to per-word accuracy values, I compute accuracy scores for each sound change distribution. These are found in the Appendix. In general, despite the fact that changes involving retroflexion of n do not jibe entirely with received wisdom, these changes do not point to model misspecification, at least from the standpoint of posterior predictive checks.
