What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you analyze cross-linguistic typological patterns from WALS to test implicational universals and understand how features relate to word order and geography.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cross-linguistic feature analysis: Compare typological feature co-occurrence patterns using WALS-style structured data.
- Implicational universal testing: Evaluate Greenbergian/Greenberg-inspired universals with contingency tables, Fisher’s exact tests, and Yule’s Q.
- Typological mapping: Create geographic distribution maps (via GeoPandas when available, otherwise scatter fallbacks) to visualize where feature values cluster.
- Use Case: Determine whether SOV languages are statistically associated with postpositions and visualize where SOV and tone clusters appear on a world map.
Quick Start
Use the typology-wals skill to test whether SOV predicts postpositions in a WALS-derived dataset and produce a mapped summary of the relevant feature distributions.
