Abstract:

This book is an innovative guide to quantitative, corpus-based research in
historical and diachronic linguistics. Gard B. Jenset and Barbara McGillivray
argue that, although historical linguistics has been successful in using the
comparative method, the field lags behind other branches of linguistics with
respect to adopting quantitative methods. Here they provide a theoretically
agnostic description of a new framework for quantitatively assessing models
and hypotheses in historical linguistics, based on corpus data and using case
studies to illustrate how this framework can answer research questions in
historical linguistics. The authors offer an in-depth explanation and
discussion of the benefits of working with quantitative methods, corpus data,
and corpus annotation, and the advantages of open and reproducible research.
The book will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in
historical linguistics, as well as for all those working with linguistic
corpora.
