We recently used computational phylogenetic methods on lexical data to test between two scenarios for the peopling of the Pacific. Our analyses of lexical data supported a pulse-pause scenario of Pacific settlement in which the Austronesian speakers originated in Taiwan around 5,200 years ago and rapidly spread through the Pacific in a series of expansion pulses and settlement pauses. We claime...
Pragmatics is not about language as such, viewed in isolation, but about words as they are being used. And words are never things, pure objects; words have their history and lives: their story is the story of their users. Pragmatic thinking focuses not just on what 'is' there (the 'essentialist' method of linguistics), but on how what 'is' there, 'got' there, and what it 'does' there, in a 'fun...
I introduce a combination of information-theoretical and causal modeling to study the cascading of changes between the morphology and the syntax of a language on a diachronic scale. Through the analysis of a historical treebank of Icelandic language ranging from the XII to the XXI century, I show that it is changes in the inflectional morphology of the language that triggered changes in its syn...
In this paper, a new semantic-based extractive summary methodology is put forward. The approach makes use of WordNet synset to obtain sentence semantic similarity. The scoring function is expressed as a linear combination of two features: the query-independent feature and query-related feature. An efficient scoring function of considering historical information for the update summarization task...
Extracting plausible transliterations from historical literature is a key issues in historical linguistics and other resaech fields. In Chinese historical literature, the characters used to transliterate the same loanword may vary because of different translation eras or different Chinese language preferences among translators. To assist historical linguiatics and digial humanity researchers, t...
Original multidisciplinary research hereby clarifies the complex geodomestication pathways that generated the vast range of banana cultivars (cvs). Genetic analyses identify the wild ancestors of modern-day cvs and elucidate several key stages of domestication for different cv groups. Archaeology and linguistics shed light on the historical roles of people in the movement and cultivation of ban...
A Web-Based Interactive Tool for Creating, Inspecting, Editing, and Publishing Etymological Datasets
The paper presents the Etymological DICtionary ediTOR (EDICTOR), a free, interactive, web-based tool designed to aid historical linguists in creating, editing, analysing, and publishing etymological datasets. The EDICTOR offers interactive solutions for important tasks in historical linguistics, including facilitated input and segmentation of phonetic transcriptions, quantitative and qualitativ...
