PILA: A Historical-Linguistic Dataset of Proto-Italic and Latin
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Computational historical linguistics seeks to systematically understand
processes of sound change, including during periods at which little to no
formal recording of language is attested. At the same time, few computational
resources exist which deeply explore phonological and morphological connections
between proto-languages and their descendants. This is particularly true for
the family of Italic languages. To assist historical linguists in the study of
Italic sound change, we introduce the Proto-Italic to Latin (PILA) dataset,
which consists of roughly 3,000 pairs of forms from Proto-Italic and Latin. We
provide a detailed description of how our dataset was created and organized.
Then, we exhibit PILA's value in two ways. First, we present baseline results
for PILA on a pair of traditional computational historical linguistics tasks.
Second, we demonstrate PILA's capability for enhancing other
historical-linguistic datasets through a dataset compatibility study.
