Foundations of Formal Etymological Analysis

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This study gives a brief overview on formal aspects of etymological analysis, by providing a modified workflow for the classical comparative method in historical language comparison. This workflow is contrasted with the current state-of-the-art in computational historical linguistics, pointing out where computational methods and interactive tools for annotation are lacking, and where they are available already.
