Citations in the corpus

• Evolutionary Linguistics (2008, methodology): “Atkinson et al. (2005) replicate their result using the data set from Ringe et al. (2002) (see above) and a stochastic-Dollo model of vocabulary evolution, which include the possibility of borrowing (see Nicholls & Gray 2006).”
• The Pleasures and Perils of Darwinizing Culture (with Phylogenies) (2007, background): “Atkinson et al. (2005) simulated the effects of borrowing on the estimation of divergence dates for Indo-European languages.”
• Adding typology to lexicostatistics: A combined approach to language classification (2009, methodology): “Unlike most other approaches to automatic language classification, such as those described by Oswalt (1971), Atkinson et al. (2005), and Nakhleh et al. (2005), the present method automates both the judgments of cognacy and the subsequent inference of phylogeny.”
