Exact excerpt

In this re-analysis of experimental data from James and Sakata (Current Biology 27:3676–3682, 2017), I assessed whether zebra finches tutored with songs with shuffled syllables, where each syllable type is equally common and songs have equal length, transform them to exhibit three linguistic laws associated with efficiency in human language.
