COMPARATIVE LINGUISTICS IN THE DIGITAL AGE: COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS FOR LANGUAGE COMPARISON
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
This article explores how comparative linguistics has evolved in the digital age through the use of computational tools. It discusses major resources such as linguistic databases, algorithms for phonetic alignment, and visualization technologies. Applications in language reconstruction, historical linguistics, and preservation of endangered languages are examined, along with the challenges of data reliability and algorithmic bias. The article concludes that while computational methods expand the scope of comparative linguistics, human expertise remains essential.
