On the relation between structural diversity and geographical distance among languages: observations and computer simulations
Since the groundbreaking work of Nichols (1992) it has been clear that the use of typological databases for making inferences regarding linguistic prehistory could potentially have much to offer. The recent availability of larger typological databases such as Haspelmath et al. (2005) has brought the linguistics community closer to having a solid, empirical foundation for making actual claims ab...
متن کاملThe Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database: From Bioinformatics to Lexomics
Phylogenetic methods have revolutionised evolutionary biology and have recently been applied to studies of linguistic and cultural evolution. However, the basic comparative data on the languages of the world required for these analyses is often widely dispersed in hard to obtain sources. Here we outline how our Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database (ABVD) helps remedy this situation by collati...
متن کاملTime and place in the prehistory of the Aslian languages.
The Aslian language family, located in the Malay Peninsula and southern Thai Isthmus, consists of four distinct branches comprising some 18 languages. These languages predate the now dominant Malay and Thai. The speakers of Aslian languages exhibit some of the highest degree of phylogenetic and societal diversity present in Mainland Southeast Asia today, among them a foraging tradition particul...
متن کاملBayesian phylogenetic analysis supports an agricultural origin of Japonic languages.
Languages, like genes, evolve by a process of descent with modification. This striking similarity between biological and linguistic evolution allows us to apply phylogenetic methods to explore how languages, as well as the people who speak them, are related to one another through evolutionary history. Language phylogenies constructed with lexical data have so far revealed population expansions ...
متن کاملTransNewGuinea.org: An Online Database of New Guinea Languages
The island of New Guinea has the world's highest linguistic diversity, with more than 900 languages divided into at least 23 distinct language families. This diversity includes the world's third largest language family: Trans-New Guinea. However, the region is one of the world's least well studied, and primary data is scattered across a wide range of publications and more often then not hidden ...
