2019 Detecting non-tree-like signal using multiple tree topologies Understanding language genealogy: Alternatives to the tree model, Kalyan, Siva, Alexandre François and Harald Hammarström (eds.), pp. 9–69 | Article
Recent applications of phylogenetic methods to historical linguistics have been criticized for assuming a tree structure in which ancestral languages differentiate and split up into daughter languages, while language evolution is inherently non-tree-like (François 2014; Blench 2015: 32–33). This… read more

2015 Where do all the motion verbs come from? The speed of development of manner verbs and path verbs in Indo-European Diachronica 32:1, pp. 69–72 | Article
The last four decades have seen huge progress in the description and analysis of cross-linguistic diversity in the encoding of motion (Talmy 1985, 1991, Slobin 1996, 2004). Comparisons between satellite-framed and verb-framed languages suggest that satellite-framed languages typically have a… read more
2014 Diachronic change in Indo-European motion event encoding Journal of Historical Linguistics 4:1, pp. 40–83 | Article
There are many different syntactic constructions that languages can use to encode motion events. In recent decades, great advances have been made in the description and study of these syntactic constructions from languages spoken around the world (Talmy 1985, 1991, Slobin 1996, 2004). However,… read more
