The Danish #copula, and its variation in pronunciation, is the topic of my chapter in "Grammar in Action". Danish copulas may be reduced to the point of not being there, and I show that they can be used for assessments. Stressed copulas, which are not reduced, are used for either contrasts with something previous or for (re)asserting something already stated in the conversation - both often happen as part of assessment activities in some way. #phonetics

Nonparametric Copula Models for Multivariate, Mixed, and Missing Data

I ran across the term “copula” in a mathematical context the other day, but when I looked it up, the first meaning that appeared was the linguistic one, meaning: a linking word. For example, in English, “is.” I also learned that the term “zero copula” is used to describe a language that doesn’t use linking words. Five years ago I would’ve said wow, that’s a mind blowing concept! But today I said, oh, just like Hawaiian! #OleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #hawaii #copula #zeroCopula #linguistics
