2025 Reply to Kassian et al. (2023). Calibrated weighted permutation test detects ancient language connections in the Circumpolar area (Chukotian-Nivkh and Yukaghir-Samoyedic) Journal of Historical Linguistics 15:3, pp. 482–494 | Reply
Kassian et al. (2023) propose a method to detect ancient linguistic relationships by means of a weighted permutation test applied to word lists. The method provides evidence for an ancient historical connection between Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages and Nivkh languages, and between Samoyedic… read more
2019 Significance testing of the Altaic family Diachronica 36:3, pp. 299–336 | Article
Historical linguists have been debating for decades about whether the classical comparative method provides sufficient evidence to consider Altaic languages as part of a single genetic unity, like Indo-European and Uralic, or whether the implicit statistical robustness behind regular sound… read more
2015 Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages Proto-Indo-European Syntax and its Development, Kulikov, Leonid and Nikolaos Lavidas (eds.), pp. 125–156 | Article
The Parametric Comparison Method (PCM, Guardiano & Longobardi 2005, Longobardi & Guardiano 2009) is grounded on the assumption that syntactic parameters are more appropriate than other traits for use as comparanda for historical reconstruction, because they are able to provide unambiguous… read more
