The idea of measuring distance between languages seems to have its roots in the work of the French explorer Dumont D'Urville \cite{Urv}. He collected comparative words lists of var…
Lexical evolution rates by automated stability measure
Filippo Petroni, Maurizio Serva
Phylogenetic trees can be reconstructed from the matrix which contains the distances between all pairs of languages in a family. Recently, we proposed a new method which uses norma…
Automated words stability and languages phylogeny
Filippo Petroni, Maurizio Serva
The idea of measuring distance between languages seems to have its roots in the work of the French explorer Dumont D'Urville (D'Urville 1832). He collected comparative words lists…
Automated languages phylogeny from Levenshtein distance
