statistical linguistics (also quantitative linguistics)
Experimentally oriented subdiscipline of mathematical linguistics. Using statistical methods, statistical linguistics investigates the quantification of linguistic regularities in a controlled fashion. Its methods are used in the production of frequency dictionaries, stylistic text analysis, and in natural-language processing, where it is used to guide parsing and recognition hypothesis.
