A Pipeline for Computational Historical Linguistics

open access: closedLanguage Dynamics and Change, 2011
AbstractThere are many parallels between historical linguistics and molecular phylogenetics. In this paper we describe an algorithmic pipeline that mimics, as closely as possible, the traditional workflow of language reconstruction known as the comparative method.

Multilingual Computational Linguistics (Lecture at the University of Passau in the Winter Term 2022/2023)

ResearchEquals, 2023
While the discipline of computational linguistics mostly deals with the modeling and the investigation of individual languages (often "big" languages such as English, German, Arabic, or Chinese), Multilingual Computational Linguistics focuses on the ...

Otto Jespersen, one more broken leg in the historical stool of generative linguistics

Historiographia Linguistica, 2022
Over the years, Noam Chomsky has constructed a historiographic narrative according to which Generative Grammar is the outcome of a mix comprising the early awareness of creativity by Galileo, the Cartesians, and Humboldt, the formalization of recursive ...

PBEBench: A Multi-Step Programming by Examples Reasoning Benchmark inspired by Historical Linguistics

Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
Although many benchmarks evaluate the reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) within domains such as mathematics, coding, or data wrangling, few abstract away from domain specifics to examine reasoning as a capability in and of itself.

Computational Feature-Sensitive Reconstruction of Language Relationships: Developing the ALINE Distance for Comparative Historical Linguistic Reconstruction

Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, 2008
Abstract 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.
