idea for a workshop at next ICHL

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

About 10 years ago a colleague of mine at grad school was working on something like this, particularly in terms of improving on Swadesh list reliance:

Lohr, Marisa (1999). Methods for the Genetic Classification of Languages, unpublished PhD thesis, University of Cambridge.

I am not entirely sure how to contact her, but the last I knew, she was lecturing with the Open University in the UK.

Cheers,
Carl

I would like for example to get beyond reliance on Swadesh lists to look more realistically at what comparatists actually do, and to get beyond evaluation of proposed families to look also at problems involving proposed cognate sets or proposed correspondences for widely accepted families that have so far resisted reconstruction.
