Computational Typology
Typology is a subfield of linguistics that focuses on the study and classification of languages based on their structural features. Unlike genealogical classification, which examines the historical relationships between languages, typology seeks to understand the diversity of human languages by identifying common properties and patterns, known as universals. In recent years, computational methods have played an increasingly important role in typological research, enabling the analysis of large-scale linguistic data and the testing of hypotheses about language structure and evolution. This article provides an illustration of the benefits of computational statistical modeling in typology.

The Typology of Polysemy: A Multilingual Distributional Framework
Lexical semantic typology has identified important cross-linguistic generalizations about the variation and commonalities in polysemy patterns---how languages package up meanings into words. Recent computational research…
Towards Induction of Structured Phoneme Inventories
This extended abstract surveying the work on phonological typology was prepared for "SIGTYP 2020: The Second Workshop on Computational Research in Linguistic Typology" to be held at EMNLP 2020.
FrameNet and Typology
FrameNet and the Multilingual FrameNet project have produced multilingual semantic annotations of parallel texts that yield extremely fine-grained typological insights. Moreover, frame semantic annotation of a wide cross…
DiversityProbabilistic Typology: Deep Generative Models of Vowel Inventories
Linguistic typology studies the range of structures present in human language. The main goal of the field is to discover which sets of possible phenomena are universal, and which are merely frequent. For example, all lan…
Point ProcessesA Corpus for Large-Scale Phonetic Typology
A major hurdle in data-driven research on typology is having sufficient data in many languages to draw meaningful conclusions. We present VoxClamantis v1.0, the first large-scale corpus for phonetic typology, with aligne…
