Cognate Detection for Historical Language Reconstruction of Proto-Sabean Languages: the Case of Ge’ez, Tigrinya, and Amharic (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | As languages evolve, we risk losing ancestral languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use cognates to reconstruct proto-languages from cognates in child languages that have likely evolved from the same word in the proto-linguistics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is based on automatic cognate detection and in-context learning with GPT-4o to generate the proto-language from the cognates and use Sequence-to-Sequence models. |
