The field of computational linguistics has been dealing with the modeling of natural language from a computational perspective since the 1950s. However the usage of advanced and interactive visualization techniques is very limited. This is especially the case of diachronic linguistics, which is devoted to the study of language change. This work is part of a project that aims to provide novel hi...
In rural Tanzania, recent major influences happen between Kiswahili and English to ethnic languages rather than ethnic languages, which had been in contact for so long, influencing each other. In this work, I report the results of investigation of lexical changes in indigenous languages that aimed at examining how ethnic communities and their languages, namely Cushitic Iraqw, Nilotic Datooga, N...
Margaret Masterman was one of six students in Wittgenstein’s course of 1933–1934 whose notes were compiled as The Blue Book (Wittgenstein 1958, which is the first publication after the mimeographed copies that were circulated informally). In the late 1950s, she founded the Cambridge Language Research Unit (CLRU) as a discussion group, which evolved into one of the pioneering centers of research...
We have studied the rank frequency distribution (RFD) of letters of the alphabet in Tamil language texts. In a novel application of rank frequencies, we have defined a simple intuitive distance parameter between a pair of strings (text or DNA sequence of codons). This distance correlates well with age difference in historical linguistics and evolutionary genetics. Using a distance matrix of a s...
This chapter studies the use of textual features based on systemic functional linguistics, for genre-based text categorization. We describe feature sets that represent different types of conjunctions and modal assessment, which together can partially indicate how different genres structure text and may prefer certain classes of attitudes towards propositions in the text. This enables analysis o...
The historical record tells us stories of migrations, population expansions and colonization events in the last few thousand years, but what was their demographic impact? Genetics can throw light on this issue, and has mostly done so through the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the male-specific Y chromosome. However, there are a number of problems, including marker ascertainm...
The Mao-Kung Ting is one of the most precious artifacts in the National Palace Museum. Having five-hundred-character inscription cast inside, the Mao-Kung Ting is regarded as a very important historical document, dating back to 800 B.C.. Motivated by revealing the great nature of the artifact and interpreting it into a meaningful narrative, we have proposed an innovative Virtual Exhibition Syst...
The process of establishing genetic relationships in the endeavor of historical linguistics is complicated by the fact that some, if not most, languages show no inclination to “behave themselves” by re3ecting only material inherited from their protolanguage. Borrowing at many levels is rife in many languages, particularly when geographic separation is slight, and when social contact is frequent...
