- Abstract:
- Historical language comparison for the purpose of identifying cognates and sound correspondences in multilingual wordlists which can later be used to infer phylogenetic trees can be conveniently carried out in a framework of computer-assisted language comparison (see http://calc.digling.org), using tools for automatic inference, like LingPy (http://lingpy.org, List and Forkel 2016, and tools for data annotation and curation, like EDICTOR (http://edictor.digling.org, List 2017. In this tutorial, we will guide the users through all important steps ranging from data preparation, via data curation, to data export.
