<div>• phylogenetic studies,</div><div>• computational modelling,</div><div>• corpus linguistics,</div><div>• language contacts,</div><div>• psycholinguistics,</div></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">
• neurolinguistics,</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px"><div>• and language acquisition.</div><div>This list is not conclusive, and any contributions that make an effort to productively</div>

<div>interrelations between the method and the object of study, guiding assumptions in</div><div>the theoretical frameworks, and the possibilities for mixing methods and</div><div>interdisciplinary collaboration.</div><div>
