Indo-European languages tree by Levenshtein distance
The evolution of languages closely resembles the evolution of haploid organisms. This similarity has been recently exploited [1, 2] to construct language trees. The key point is the definition of a distance among all pairs of languages which is the analogous of a genetic distance. Many methods have been proposed to define these distances, one of this, used by glottochronology, compute distance ...
متن کاملAutomated languages phylogeny from Levenshtein distance
Languages evolve in time according to a process in which reproduction, mutation and extinction are all possible. This is very similar to haploid evolution for asexual organisms or for mtDNA of complex ones. Exploiting this similarity it is possible, in principle, to verify hypotheses concerning their relationship. The key point is the definition of the distance among pairs of languages in analo...
متن کاملAlignment Across Oriental and Indo-European Languages
The linguistic characteristics of Oriental languages and Indo-European languages are very different. Using purely length-based algorithm could not produce high performance on aligning texts. This paper investigates the effectiveness of critical part-of-speech (POS) criterion on alignment under conditions of different search strategies and different register texts. Two metrics, recall and precis...
متن کاملPhylogeny and geometry of languages from normalized Levenshtein distance
The idea that the distance among pairs of languages can be evaluated from lexical differences seems to have its roots in the work of the French explorer Dumont D’Urville. He collected comparative words lists of various languages during his voyages aboard the Astrolabe from 1826 to 1829 and, in his work about the geographical division of the Pacific, he proposed a method to measure the degree of...
متن کاملProto-Indo-European Lexicon: The Generative Etymological Dictionary of Indo-European Languages
Proto-Indo-European Lexicon (PIE Lexicon) is the generative etymological dictionary of Indo-European languages. The reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is obtained by applying the comparative method, the output of which equals the Indo-European (IE) data. Due to this the Indo-European sound laws leading from PIE to IE, revised in Pyysalo 2013, can be coded using Finite-State Transducers...
