Geospatial distributions reflect rates of evolution of features of language
Different structural features of human language change at different rates and thus exhibit different temporal stabilities. Existing methods of linguistic stability estimation depend upon the prior genealogical classification of the world’s languages into language families; these methods result in unreliable stability estimates for features which are sensitive to horizontal transfer between fami...
متن کاملGeographic Distributions of Linguistic Variation Reflect Dynamics of Differentiation
The oldest branch of dialectology is the study of what is today often referred to as " dialect geography " , i.e. the study of the geographical distribution of language varieties, as opposed to the study of many other relations between language varieties and external conditioning factors, such as social class, age, and sex. While it is clear that geography has a massive influence on the distrib...
متن کاملLinguistic Resources Enhanced with Geospatial Information
In this short report on language data and RDF tools, we describe the transformation process that we undertook to convert spreadsheet data about a group of endangered languages and where they are spoken in West Africa into an RDF triple store. We use RDF tools to organize and visualize these data on a world map, accessible through a web browser. The functionality we develop allows researchers to...
متن کاملShould Neural Network Architecture Reflect Linguistic Structure?
I explore the hypothesis that conventional neural network models (e.g., recurrent neural networks) are incorrectly biased for making linguistically sensible generalizations when learning, and that a better class of models is based on architectures that reflect hierarchical structures for which considerable behavioral evidence exists. I focus on the problem of modeling and representing the meani...
متن کاملPredictive Linguistic Features of Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is one of the most disabling and difficult to treat of all human medical/health conditions, ranking in the top ten causes of disability worldwide. It has been a puzzle in part due to difficulty in identifying its basic, fundamental components. Several studies have shown that some manifestations of schizophrenia (e.g., the negative symptoms that include blunting of speech prosody, ...
