摘要:

历史语言学的计算方法已经提出了半个世纪。在过去的十年中,这一研究领域得到了重大推动,这既归功于计算生物学的思想和软件的转移,也归功于几个适合系统比较工作的大型电子数据资源的发布。本文对这一新的计算历史语言学浪潮中的一些中心研究课题进行了介绍和讨论。这些技术包括遗传相关性的自动评估、自动同源检测、系统发育推断和祖先状态重建。他们将通过一个案例研究的自动重建的原始罗曼语词汇表的词汇数据的50个现代罗曼语和方言。

英文摘要:

Computational approaches to historical linguistics have been proposed since half a century. Within the last decade, this line of research has received a major boost, owing both to the transfer of ideas and software from computational biology and to the release of several large electronic data resources suitable for systematic comparative work. In this article, some of the central research topic of this new wave of computational historical linguistics are introduced and discussed. These are automatic assessment of genetic relatedness, automatic cognate detection, phylogenetic inference and ancestral state reconstruction. They will be demonstrated by means of a case study of automatically reconstructing a Proto-Romance word list from lexical data of 50 modern Romance languages and dialects.
