Why do linguists need one for complexity?", "Image ImageDescription": "A rigorous standpoint, outside of particular formalisms and levels of language, to inform proposed measures of complexity. Needed in order to test whether a proposed metric corresponds to measures of what our brains find effortful to process. \u2026just as a proposed metric of color must correspond to some psychophysical measure of human responses to color if it\u2019s going to be useful in accounting for perception. A metric that is useful for calibrating printers may not do well at accounting for what colors people find similar. 3/23/12.
