Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Masking of tones and formant frequencies [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992 The purpose of this study was to find out whether results of auditory masking theory, established primarily for pure tones, can be used to predict masking of vowel formant frequencies by broadband noise maskers. For this purpose, three sets of 2AFC experiments were conducted.
