متن کاملHistorical Linguistics
One remarkably striking observation about language, seemingly trivial but actually quite important, is that languages change through time. It is at least conceivable that language could remain unchanged over time, as is the case with some other human institutions, e.g. various tabus or the rules to come games, and with some aspects of human communication systems, e.g. Morse Code or the value of...
متن کاملThe Potential of Automatic Word Comparison for Historical Linguistics
The amount of data from languages spoken all over the world is rapidly increasing. Traditional manual methods in historical linguistics need to face the challenges brought by this influx of data. Automatic approaches to word comparison could provide invaluable help to pre-analyze data which can be later enhanced by experts. In this way, computational approaches can take care of the repetitive a...
متن کاملLinguistics in Computational Linguistics: Observations and Predictions
As my title suggests, this position paper focuses on the relevance of linguistics in NLP instead of asking the inverse question. Although the question about the role of computational linguistics in the study of language may theoretically be much more interesting than the selected topic, I feel that my choice is more appropriate for the purpose and context of this workshop. This position paper s...
