The Global Lexicostatistical Database: A Total Archive of Linguistic Prehistory (2018)

unapi

Described as a ‘sort of Human Genome Project for historical linguistics’, the Evolution of Human Languages Project (EHL) is dedicated to promoting long-range genealogical research into linguistic prehistory. Toward that end, its architects have sought to collect and coordinate evidence of every known human language, roughly 6000 in all, fostering an interdisciplinary and internationally accessible environment for the study of historical universals and contemporary diversity. This article investigates the roots and branches of the Global Lexicostatistical Database – a component project of the EHL. It pays special attention to strategies for encoding epistemological pluralism in a web-based archive of global proportions.
