September 2019 Sci Adv

Synopsis of Social media discussions

The overall tone suggests that the discussions are curious and somewhat analytical, with posts referencing specific data points like '39 bits/sec' and questioning the universality of the findings, demonstrating both interest and cautious engagement. Words like 'fascinating' and references to 'surprising' results convey enthusiasm, while mentions of methodology and skepticism indicate a thoughtful, balanced dialogue about the potential implications.

A
Agreement
 Moderate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the study’s surprising finding that different languages transmit information at similar rates, showing general support.

I
Interest
 High level of interest

Many posts highlight curiosity and fascination with the research, especially regarding how languages differ in speed but still achieve comparable information transfer.

E
Engagement
 Moderate level of engagement

Participants reference the methodology, share examples, and question implications, indicating moderate depth of engagement.

I
Impact
 Moderate level of impact

There is a sense that the study may influence understanding of language universals, though some express skepticism or note methodological considerations, reflecting moderate perceived impact.

Languages Exhibit Similar Information Rates Despite Structural Differences

Languages Exhibit Similar Information Rates Despite Structural Differences

Languages vary in structural features like syllable complexity but achieve comparable information transfer rates of about 39 bits per second through complex interactions between linguistic structure, cognition, and environment.

    @MishaTeplitskiy @hugoreasoning Yes- here’s an article from a few years ago finding that even though speech rates vary across languages, the info exchanged (in bits/s) is constant.

    You know, I think about the lower-bound nature of the Shannon number, and how 10.1126/sciadv.aaw2594 measured linguistic complexity by syllabic complexity (rather than morphemic or phonemic), and how, for the points said papers are trying to make, these are often "good enough"

    On further review, I don't know that I strictly agree with the paper's specific means of measurement, but the general conclusion of human communication having a broad upper-bound that's under ten bytes per second strikes me as more-or-less sound https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aaw2594

Abstract Synopsis

  • Languages vary greatly in structural features like the number of allowed syllables, which affects the Shannon information per syllable, but still enable efficient information transfer.
  • Crosslinguistic data shows that despite these structural differences, languages encode approximately similar information rates of about 39 bits per second, driven by the relationship between syllable information and speech rate.
  • These findings suggest that language evolution is influenced by complex interactions between linguistic structure, cognitive processes, and environmental factors, creating an optimized communicative system through biological, cultural, and ecological feedback loops.
