Historical relationships among languages are used as a proxy for social history in many non-linguistic settings, including the fields of cultural and molecular anthropology. Linguists have traditionally assembled this information using the standard comparative method. While providing extremely nuanced linguistic information, this approach is timeconsuming and labor-intensive. Conversely, comput...

In his article "Literary Geography and Comparative Literature" César Domínguez analyzes the relevance of political and linguistic frameworks for comparative literary historiography in the context of the European Union. Domínguez's discussion is based on the notion of geoculture whose theorization from Immanuel Wallerstein's perspective presents paradigms of interest to comparative literature. T...

The main focus of this paper is to investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) method under intuitionistic linguistic (IL) environment, based on induced aggregation operators and analyze possibilities for its application in low carbon supplier selection. More specifically, a new aggregation operator, called intuitionistic linguistic weighted induced ordered weighted averaging (ILW...

A language is related to other languages because these are similar one another. The kinship between Javanese and Sasak can be seen in lexical phonemic correspondences. This study aims analyze the relationship based on numerical calculations lexicostatistical order of two languages. research uses qualitative quantitative methods. Data were obtained using literature method, corresponding Morris S...

This study examines the kinship of Malay language and Malagasy language. These two languages come from same proto language, namely Proto Austronesian (PAN). Departing researchers’ assumptions about linguistic relationship both at phoneme morpheme levels, there is a close system or between these languages. Even though they are geographically geo-politically separated, preliminary research on sho...

This paper analyzes a few significant differences between Spanish and English in relation to phonological patterns. First, short introduction is given about these two languages, it briefly explained what linguistic aspects they are similar or different. Then, each of features analyzed detail, clearly establishing the existing English. The specific that addressed on this academic vowel consonant...

Quantitative measurement of inter-language distance is a useful technique for studying diachronic and synchronic relations between languages. Such measures have been used successfully for purposes like deriving language taxonomies and language reconstruction, but they have mostly been applied to handcrafted word lists. Can we instead use corpus based measures for comparative study of languages?...
