Identifying the optimal datasize for lexically-based Bayesian inference of linguistic phylogenies
Bayesian linguistic phylogenies are standardly based on cognate matrices for words referring to a fix set of meanings—typically around 100-200. To this day there has not been any empirical investigation into which datasize is optimal. Here we determine, across a set of language families, the optimal number of meanings required for the best performance ...

Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.

Language machines: Toward a linguistic anthropology of large language models
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) challenge long‐standing assumptions in linguistics and linguistic anthropology by generating human‐like language without relying on rule‐based structures. This introduction to the special issue Language Machines calls for renewed engagement with LLMs as socially embedded language technologies.
