EvoBib: A Bibliographic Database and Quote Collection for Historical Linguistics
<p>This databases offers 4564 references dealing with computer-assisted language comparison in a broad sense. In addition, the database offers 8364 distinct quotes collected from 5063 references. The majority of the references in the quote database overlaps with those in the bibliographic database. The quotes are organized by keywords and can browsed with a full text and a keyword search. </p> <p>The data (references and quotes) underlying each new release are provided here, the data can be browsed at <a href="https://evobib.digling.org/">https://evobib.digling.org/</a>.</p> <p>If you use the database, I would appreciate if you could this in your research:</p> <blockquote> <p>List, Johann-Mattis (2024): EvoBib: A bibliographic database and quote collection [Database, Version 1.8.0].

Historic machines from 'prams' to 'Parliament': new avenues for collaborative linguistic research
<p>Recording of presentation of long paper, DH Benelux 2022: RE-MIX. Creation and alteration in DH (Hybrid), 1-3 June 2022.</p> <p>Research in computational linguistics has made successful attempts at modelling word meaning at scale, but much remains to be done to put these computational models to the test of historical scholarship. More importantly, a lot of computational research looks at texts in a historical vacuum, 'synchronically', as linguists would say. <em>Living with Machines</em> is an interdisciplinary research project that rethinks the impact of technology on the lives of ordinary people during the Industrial Revolution. During this project, we decided to address a fundamental question: what did people mean by ‘machine’ and how has this meaning changed over time?</p> <p>This paper outlines how a simple research question like 'what was a machine?' can provide an opportunity to engage the public with our work while also generating data for analysis and new avenues of research in a radically collaborative way.</p>
Data set: historical and ethno-linguistic maps covering Western Tigray (1607-2014)

Asia.bib: A bibtex bibliography for Asian Historical Linguistics
<p>This is the working version of the bibliography used in those aspects of the ERC synergy project 'Beyond Boundaries: Religion, Region, Language and the State' (ID: ID: 609823), which are based at SOAS University of London. It covers many works in Sino-Tibetan linguistics, particularly Tibetan and the Burmish languages, but also has many works on the history of linguistics, historical linguistics methodology, and computational approaches to historical linguistics.</p>
Western Tigray in 165 historical and 33 ethno-linguistic maps (1475-2014)
<p>There is a wide array of historical maps and records which jointly reveal that the territorial organisation of northern Ethiopia has tremendously changed over the last four centuries.</p> <p>Historical maps representing the Western Zone of the Tigray Region (Welkait and adjacent districts, Fig. 1) have been retrieved from well-established repositories. Only maps prepared in the same period (co-eval maps) were used. Each map was screened for representation of internal borders, indicating sway or territorial control. Out of 165 maps, spanning the period 1475-1967, 159 were precise enough to be analysed, of which 93 display territorial control. Descriptive statistics of the dataset as a whole are presented.</p> <p>Starting from the late 16<sup>th</sup> C., territorial control is frequently and clearly shown, with 57 maps (between 1570 and 1941) displaying a boundary that is located well south of the Tekeze River, or even south of the Simien mountains (Fig. 2). Welkait is explicitly included within a larger Tigray confederation (periods 1707-1794, 1829-1898, 1908-1909, and 1935-1941) (Fig. 3); it is briefly mapped as part of Amhara in 1891-1896 and part of Gondar from 1944-1990. At other periods it appears independent or part of a larger Mezaga (“dark earth”) lowland region. The Amhara/Gondar – Tigray border is mapped on the Tekeze River at short intervals in 1844-1847, 1860-1872, and 1891-1896 and then more permanently between 1944 and 1990. The meta-analyis of the historical maps shows that for the larger part of the last 300 years, Western Tigray has been under Tigray jurisdiction (Fig. 5). However, at times of upheaval, the territory has been briefly reorganized under either the Amhara polities or was autonomous.</p> <p>These maps demonstrate that the argument that Welkait was “<em>always</em> a part of Begemdir”, or else Amhara, is not based on evidence, apart from a territorial reorganisation in the mid-twentieth century. In contrast, contemporary Tigray is a valid territory, whose legitimacy stems from modern federalism’s faculty to create a region away from concepts of the Ethiopian empire-state. In 1991-4, when the boundaries of the Tigray Region were established as part of federal Ethiopia, local self-determination was way more important than historical maps. Remarkably, the consensus of the 20<sup>th</sup> C. ethno-linguistic maps of the Ethiopian state sustains the current extent of the Tigray region.</p> <p>In other words: the Amhara nationalist narrative that there was continuous ancestral ownership of Western Tigray is not confirmed by a meta-analysis of the historical maps. We conclude with the suggestion to especially consider the recent and subrecent actual world, including language maps.</p>
