Abstract Language is one of the most complex human traits. There are many hypotheses about how it originated, what factors shaped its diversity, and ongoing processes drive changes. We present Causal Hypotheses in Evolutionary Linguistics Database (CHIELD, https://chield.excd.org/), a tool for expressing, exploring, evaluating hypotheses. It allows researchers to integrate multiple theories into coherent narrative, helping design future research. goals, formal specification, an...
We investigate and compare the evolution of two aspects culture, languages weaving technologies, amongst Kra-Dai (Tai-Kadai) peoples southwest China southeast Asia, using Bayesian Markov-Chain Monte Carlo methods to uncover phylogenies. The results show that looms evolved in related but different ways, bring some new insights into diaspora speakers across Asia. found used by Hlai Hainan are outgroups both linguistic loom phylogenies, closely tend belong similar types. However, we also...
Robbeets et al. 1 argue that the dispersal of so-called “Transeurasian” languages, a highly disputed language superfamily comprising Turkic, Mongolian, Tungusic, Koreanic, and Japonic families, was driven by Neolithic farmers in West Liao River region China. They adduce evidence from linguistics, archaeology, genetics to support their claim. An admirable feature al.’s paper is all datasets can be accessed. However, closer investigation three types reveals fundamental problems with each them....

Abstract Sino-Tibetan (Trans-Himalayan) is one of the typologically most diverse language families in world, few comprising all gradients morphological complexity, from isolating to polysynthetic. No consensus exists as yet on whether rich morphology found some languages, particular person indexation, should be reconstructed common ancestor or it a later innovation confined and defining “Rung” subgroup. In this article, we argue that question fundamentally problem phylogeny, results recent...
