Abstract

Este trabajo intenta comparar dos formulaciones alternativas de la ley de Menzerath para la relación entre dos indicadores lingüísticos (palabras por enunciado y fonemas por palabra) en una muestra de 50 idiomas. Las formulaciones alternativas son la función potencial (que es la especificación más tradicional de la ley de Menzerath), y una forma recientemente propuesta de tipo hiperbólico. Las estimaciones han sido modificadas para controlar por factores filogenéticos y geográficos, y por la presencia de posible endogeneidad entre las variables. Nada de eso, sin embargo, altera significativamente los resultados básicos, que muestran una leve preferencia por la función potencial por sobre la función hiperbólica.
