语言结构多样性与地理距离的关系：观察与计算机模拟
On the relation between structural diversity and geographical distance among languages: observations and computer simulations
摘要：
最近出现的更大的类型学数据库，如Haspelmath et al.（2005），使语言学界更接近于拥有一个坚实的经验基础，来对史前迁移、深层谱系关系和区域语言互动模式做出实际的主张。尽管如此，仍然需要更多的数据，而且最重要的是需要解决一些方法问题。这些问题，正是本文研究的重点。这些问题将从两个角度来处理。第一种观点是经验主义的，观察主要来自Haspelmath等人（2005）的数据分析。第二个角度是计算的，其中模拟被用来测试不同的参数对结构语言多样性的发展的影响。结果表明，确实有一些希望，我们可能会得出新的经验见解语言史前的类型学数据。然而，我们并没有在本文中提出任何具体的经验主张，而是将我们的努力集中在方法论上
英文摘要：
The recent availability of larger typological databases such as Haspelmath et al. (2005) has brought the linguistics community closer to having a solid, empirical foundation for making actual claims about prehistoric migrations, deep genealogical relationship, and patterns of areal linguistic interaction. Nevertheless, still more data are needed, and more than anything a number of methodological problems need to be adressed. These problems, which are the focus of this paper. These questions will be addressed from two perspectives. The first perspective is an empirical one, where observations primarily derive from analyses of the data of Haspelmath et al. (2005). The second perspective is a computational one, where simulations are drawn upon to test the effects of different parameters on the development of structural linguistic diversity. The results suggest that there is indeed some hope that we may derive new empirical insights regarding linguistic prehistory by drawing upon typological data. We do not, however, make any specific empirical claims in this paper, but instead concentrate our efforts on methodology
