Abstract

This is a reply to Ramon Ferrer-I-Cancho's paper in this issue ``Some Word Order Biases from Limited Brain Resources: A Mathematical Approach.'' In this reply, I challenge the Euclidean distance model proposed in that paper by proposing a simple alternative model based on linear ordering.
