A low variance consistent test of relative dependency (2014, methodology): “As before, we determine the ground truth similarities from the topology of the tree of European languages determined by the linguistics community (Gray & Atkinson, 2003; Bouckaert et al., 2012) as illustrated in Fig.”
Learning Continuous Hierarchies in the Lorentz Model of Hyperbolic Geometry (2018, methodology): “For this purpose, we used the lexical cognate data provided by Bouckaert et al. (2012), which consists of 103 Indo-European languages and 6280 cognate sets in total.”
Diffusion of Lexical Change in Social Media (2012, background): “Research on reconstructing language phylogenies from cognate tables is also related [40–43], but rather than a phylogenetic process in which languages separate and then develop in relative independence, we have closely-related varieties of a single language, which are in constant interaction.”
Cultural Evolution: A Review of Theory, Findings and Controversies (2015, methodology): “Bouckaert et al. (2012) found strong support for the Anatolian hypothesis: the estimated posterior distribution of the root of the Indo-European phylogeny was located in Anatolia and dated to 7000–10,500 years ago.”
Innovation and cultural transmission in the American Paleolithic: Phylogenetic analysis of eastern Paleoindian projectile-point classes (2014, methodology): “Until roughly two decades ago, cladistics’ sole use had been in the biological realm, but the method is becoming increasingly important in the social sciences as well (e.g., Beck and Jones, 2007; Bouckaert et al., 2012; Bowern, 2012; Buchanan and Collard, 2007, 2008a, 2008b; Buckley, 2012; Currie an”
BEAST 2.5: An advanced software platform for Bayesian evolutionary analysis (2018, unknown): “, [36, 114,115]) using the observation that linguistic data can be represented by 646 binary sequence data, and these can be treated similarly to genetic sequence data.”
