Terms similar in meaning to in and on emerge earlier than those similar to front and behind, followed by left and right. This order has been attributed to the complexity of the relations expressed by different locative terms.

Sociolinguistic Typology Meets Historical Corpus Linguistics
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 546-567, November 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper makes the case for using historical corpora to assess questions of sociolinguistic typology. A full account of any contact‐induced change will need to establish what the linguistic innovation in question was, who was in contact, where and when the contact took place and how the change happened, both at the individual level and at ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 513-545, November 2023., 2023 Abstract When linguists make inferences about language contact, control data is required for reliable analysis. Historical data or reconstructions are typically used for that purpose. However, historical data is globally mostly unavailable, and reconstructions are laborious if comparing outcomes of language contact in a typological way.

An auxiliary Part‐of‐Speech tagger for blog and microblog cyber‐slang
Statistical Analysis and Data Mining: The ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 65-79, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The increasing impact of Web 2.0 involves a growing usage of slang, abbreviations, and emphasized words, which limit the performance of traditional natural language processing models. The state‐of‐the‐art Part‐of‐Speech (POS) taggers are often unable to assign a meaningful POS tag to all the words in a Web 2.0 text.

Structural persistence as an explanatory factor in synchrony and diachrony*
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 299-319, July 2022., 2022 Abstract In this paper, we look at examples of linguistic change in which the structure associated with the original element can help us understand aspects of both the diachronic process and the synchronic outcome of change. We first consider a range of phenomena that have resisted formal analysis because they show mixed‐category behaviour.
