Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | lexical divergence between cognate and borrowings is studied in the five Romance languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use etymological dictionaries to extract deceptive cognates and borrowings automatically based on usage and freely publish the lexicon of obtained true and deceptives in every Romance language pair. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithms are based on the most complete and reliable dataset of cognate words based etymological dictionaries for the five main Romance languages. |
