Human Language Dynamics (Bowern Lab)

This dataverse contains research materials, publications, corpora, datasets and other compilations related to research in Claire Bowern's Human Language Dynamics research group. We work broadly on language change and language documentation, especially (though not exclusively) with indigenous Australian communities.

Bowern, Claire, 2023, "Replication Data for: Bowern, Claire (2012) The Riddle of Tasmanian Languages.", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/TLDLSC, Yale Dataverse, V1
Recent work which combines methods from linguistics and evolutionary biology has been fruitful in discovering the history of major language families because of similarities in evolutionary processes. Such work opens up new possibilities for language research on previously unsolvable problems, especially in areas where information from other sources...

Replication Data for: Phillips, Josh and Bowern, Claire: Bayesian methods for ancestral state reconstruction in morphosyntax: Exploring the history of argument marking strategies in a large language family (Journal of Language Evolution, 2022)
Sep 20, 2023
Bowern, Claire; Phillips, Josh, 2023, "Replication Data for: Phillips, Josh and Bowern, Claire: Bayesian methods for ancestral state reconstruction in morphosyntax: Exploring the history of argument marking strategies in a large language family (Journal of Language Evolution, 2022)", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/6JNPNF, Yale Dataverse, V1
Bayesian phylogenetic methods have been gaining traction and currency in historical linguistics, as their potential for uncovering elements of language change is increasingly understood. Here, we demonstrate a proof of concept for using ancestral state reconstruction methods to reconstruct changes in morphology. We use a simple Brownian motion mode...
