Preregistration: confirmatory test of cross-genealogical form recurrence at length 3 (FORMFIRST)

Hypothesis. Among 20 confirmatory genealogical axis units (116 languages), pronunciation forms of three segments recur identically across at least three genealogically independent units less often than each unit's own phonotactics predicts: obs/E < 1.0 at form length 3. The direc...
