  • The role of frequency of use in lexical change

    Fiona Wilson, Fiona M Wilson et al.ARTICLEDiachronica2019

    Based on the number of words per meaning across the Indo-European Swadesh list, Pagel et al. (2007) suggest that frequency of use is a general mechanism of linguistic evolution. We test this claim using within-language change. From the IDS ( Key & Comrie 2015 ) we compiled a comparative word list of 1,147 cognate pairs for Classical Latin and Modern Spanish, and 1,231 cognate pairs for Classical and Modern Greek. We scored the amount of change fo…

  • Does Size Matter? The ICRW and the Inclusion of Small Cetaceans

    Open AccessSean Stephenson, Arne Mooers et al.ARTICLETransnational Environmental Law2014Citada por: 3Referencias: 6

    The competency debate over small cetacean regulation at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) is legal in nature, yet has been in a political stalemate for years. In this article we argue that the IWC has the competence to regulate small cetaceans and that the commercial whaling of 'small cetaceans' is a violation of the moratorium on commercial whaling. We present hybrid legal and scientific arguments and counter-arguments for the treaty in…

  • Targeting global conservation funding to limit immediate biodiversity declines

    Open AccessAnthony Waldron, Arne Ø Mooers et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013

    Inadequate funding levels are a major impediment to effective global biodiversity conservation and are likely associated with recent failures to meet United Nations biodiversity targets. Some countries are more severely underfunded than others and therefore represent urgent financial priorities. However, attempts to identify these highly underfunded countries have been hampered for decades by poor and incomplete data on actual spending, coupled w…

  • Phylogenetic Methods in Historical Linguistics

    Open AccessArne Ø Mooers, Panayiotis A PappasARTICLEJournal of Greek Linguistics2011Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    We review and assess the different ways in which research in evolutionary-theory-inspired biology has influenced research in historical linguistics, and then focus on an evolutionary-theory inspired claim for language change made by Pagel et al. (2007). They report that the more Swadesh-list lexemes are used, the less likely they are to change across 87 Indo-European languages, and posit that frequency-of-use of a lexical item is a separate and g…
