摘要:

当今世界上越来越多的语言被研究,传统的历史语言学研究方法面临着挑战。例如,语言之间的语言学比较研究需要人工注释,随着世界各地语言数据的不断增加,人工注释变得越来越不可能。虽然它很难取代语言学家的工作,但自动计算方法已经被考虑在内,它可以帮助人们减轻工作量。历史语言学中最重要的工作之一就是对不同语言的词语进行比较并找到它们的同源词,这意味着人们试图弄清楚两种语言是否相互关联。在本文中,我将使用计算的方法来聚类的语言,并使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗(MCMC)方法来建立基于聚类的语言类型关系树。

英文摘要:

More and more languages in the world are under study nowadays, as a result, the traditional way of historical linguistics study is facing some challenges. For example, the linguistic comparative research among languages needs manual annotation, which becomes more and more impossible with the increasing amount of language data coming out all around the world. Although it could hardly replace linguists work, the automatic computational methods have been taken into consideration and it can help people reduce their workload. One of the most important work in historical linguistics is word comparison from different languages and find the cognate words for them, which means people try to figure out if the two languages are related to each other or not. In this paper, I am going to use computational method to cluster the languages and use Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to build the language typology relationship tree based on the clusters.
