MiniJudge and MiniCorp
Software for testing grammatical hypotheses quantitatively

MiniJudge and MiniCorp are programs for simplifying quantitative analyses in the testing of grammatical hypotheses. They build on familiar concepts in traditional linguistics but link them to the more sophisticated techniques used in the rest of the cognitive sciences.

• MiniJudge: Syntacticians traditionally test grammatical hypotheses against native speaker judgments. MiniJudge helps turn this informal method into genuine psycholinguistic experimentation.
• MiniCorp: Phonologists traditionally test grammatical hypotheses against dictionary data. MiniCorp helps turn this informal method into genuine quantitative corpus analysis.
