Genetic Linguistics and the Probability Model
Over the past thirty years or so a number of scholars, mostly but not entirely American, have sought to elucidate problems of genetic linguistics by employing, explicitly or not, some form of probability mathematics. As I reread these efforts, my own included, I wonder that no one has ever seriously questioned the pertinence or, indeed, the legitimacy of such employment in elucidating historical problems. Mathematics takes vaguely defined terms o…

The Mathematical Models of Glottochronology
Glottochronology makes certain general statements about historical processes in linguistics and sets up mathematical models which are declared to correspond to the processes. These models are presented in the form of algebraic equations. Numerical data are then collected from particular historical situations and put into the equations, whence numerical results are derived which are then converted into specific historical statements. It is the the…

Word Distributions in Southeastern Papua
This paper seeks to derive historical information from linguistic material by means of statistical techniques. The material is drawn from the Melanesian languages of southeastern Papua. The principal technique employed may be designated the Czekanowski-Klimek technique, after Jan Czekanowski, the Polish anthropologist who first applied it to linguistics, and his pupil Stanislaw Klimek, who introduced it into this country, and from whom the presen…

The Statistical Technique and Hittite
Through the kindness of Professor Sturtevant we have been supplied with information about Hittite to enable us to make a Hittite column for the distribution table used in our study of Indo-European linguistic relationships by the quantitative method. The distribution of plus and minus signs for the Hittite column is as follows : Plus: 6, 7, 14, 22, 25, 26, 32, 36, 42, 45, 47, 52, 55, 64. Blanks: 3, 4, 9, 15, 16, 27, 28, 29, 30, 48, 67, 68. Minus:…
Quantitative Classification of Indo-European Languages
In 1928 the Polish anthropologist Jan Czekanowski published in the ethnographical quarterly Lud' a study of the Indo-European languages in which he employed the method of differential diagnosis by quantitative correlation determinations which he had long been using with success in physical anthropology and ethnography. This method, whatever its field, rests upon the recognition of isolable and definable features or traits, which we shall hereafte…
