That's generous. I see differences, I don't see more/less or any tendencies between German and English. I see some areas where inefficiencies are introduced in German, I see some areas where more information information is conveyed. Somewhat curious about this topic of more data per second, by language, so anything that reduces the anecdotes in favor of a study would be welcome!
- uniqueuid 4y agoYeah, I'd be interested in a proper study of this. There are tons of papers on speech information density, which is not the same as character information density. One thing that provides a lot of contextual information in German are the inflections and suffixes, i.e. "Köchin" - female cook "Koch" - male cook "Köchchen" / "Köchle" ... - diminuitive cook "Kochs" - possessive / "the cook's ..." etc.
