lang-data-analysis

Use when planning or auditing the analysis of a Language (LSA) manuscript so the evidence credibly supports the theoretical claim. Covers quantitative modeling (mixed-effects in R), phonetic measurement, corpus statistics, and the analytic trail from glossed data or judgments to the generalization. Improves the analysis chain; it does not fabricate results.

# Data Analysis (lang-data-analysis)

At *Language* the analysis exists to make the **theoretical claim credible** — not to display
technique or notation. A cross-subfield, double-anonymous reviewer will ask whether the evidence
actually warrants the generalization and whether uncertainty is handled honestly. Where the work is
quantitative, *Language* now expects **properly specified models** (typically mixed-effects models in
R) rather than by-subject t-tests or raw counts; where it is analytic, it expects the pattern to be
demonstrable from the glossed data. This skill stress-tests the analysis chain in the idiom of your work.

## When to trigger

- Planning the analysis, or auditing it before writing up
- A reader doubts the statistics, the evidence-to-claim link, or the treatment of variability
- Reconciling multiple data sources (corpus + experiment, judgments + text) into one argument
