Article

A Bayesian phylogenetic approach to estimating the stability of linguistic features and the genetic biasing of tone.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2011

Dediu Dan

Abstract excerpt

Language is a hallmark of our species and understanding linguistic diversity is an area of major interest. Genetic factors influencing the cultural transmission of language provide a powerful and elegant explanation for aspects of the present day linguistic diversity and a window into the emergen...
