- Abstract:
- The chapter discusses recently developed computational techniques providing concrete help in addressing various tasks in historical language comparison, focusing specifically on those tasks which are typically subsumed under the framework of the comparative method. These include the proof of relationship, cognate and correspondence detection, phonological reconstruction and sound law induction, and the reconstruction of evolutionary scenarios.
- Notes:
- This article draft has been submitted for inclusion in the second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Historical Linguistics, edited by Bowern and Evans. It is currently under review and may change in later versions.
