EvoAI Computational Linguistics Lab
Led by Professor Frederik Hartmann, this lab is concerned with investigating the causes and effects of linguistic change with computational methods. Neural network approaches as well as inferential modelling can yield insights into why languages diversify over time and what the pathways of change are. The primary goal of research in this lab is to combine novel methods with data from both ancient and modern sources to study the effect of cognition, society, and historical developments on language change.
