Germanic languages like English and German relatively large syntactical differences can be found, for To measure syntactical distances between languages simply measure syntactical distances in terms of differences of sentence structure, regardless what features are represented by those differences. tests were performed and linguistic distances between the languages were measured (Golubović, When calculating syntactic distances and modelling for example a German reader who is reading a Table 1 Each of the available texts in Danish, Dutch, English, German, and Swedish are translated in each of the other Table A1 Syntactic distances between Germanic languages measured with the movement measure Table A3 Syntactic distances between Germanic languages measured with the trigram measure ./cache/work_jn7wkktaw5dkhcixiudzhnmp7a.pdf ./txt/work_jn7wkktaw5dkhcixiudzhnmp7a.txt
