Representing and Computing Uncertainty in Phonological Reconstruction

1 code implementation19 Oct 2023 Johann-Mattis List, Nathan W. Hill, Robert Forkel, Frederic Blum

Despite the inherently fuzzy nature of reconstructions in historical linguistics, most scholars do not represent their uncertainty when proposing proto-forms.

A New Framework for Fast Automated Phonological Reconstruction Using Trimmed Alignments and Sound Correspondence Patterns

1 code implementation LChange (ACL) 2022 Johann-Mattis List, Robert Forkel, Nathan W. Hill

Computational approaches in historical linguistics have been increasingly applied during the past decade and many new methods that implement parts of the traditional comparative method have been proposed.

CLDFBench: Give Your Cross-Linguistic Data a Lift

1 code implementation LREC 2020 Robert Forkel, Johann-Mattis List

With cldfbench, we introduce a framework for the retro-standardization of legacy data and the curation of new datasets that drastically simplifies the creation of CLDF by providing a consistent, reproducible workflow that rigorously supports version control and long term archiving of research data and code.

Concepticon: A Resource for the Linking of Concept Lists

1 code implementation LREC 2016 Johann-Mattis List, Michael Cysouw, Robert Forkel

We present an attempt to link the large amount of different concept lists which are used in the linguistic literature, ranging from Swadesh lists in historical linguistics to naming tests in clinical studies and psycholinguistics.
