Adding typology to lexicostatistics: a combined approach to language classification (2009)
Bakker, D., Müller, A., Velupillai, V., Wichmann, S., Brown, C.H., Brown, P., ...
The ASJP project aims at establishing relationships between languages on the basis of the Swadesh word list. For this purpose, lists have been collected and phonologically transcribed for almost...
The emerging field of language dynamics (2008)
A simple review by a linguist, citing many articles by physicists: Quantitative methods, agent-based computer simulations, language dynamics, language typology, historical linguistics
Explorations in automated language classification (2008)
Holman, E.W., Wichmann, S., Brown, C.H., Velupillai, V., Müller, A., Bakker, D.
An earlier paper, to which some authors of the present paper have contributed (Brown et al. 2008), describes a method for automating language classification based on the 100-item referent list of...
Advances in automated language classification (2008)
Holman, E.W., Wichmann, S., Brown, C.H., Velupillai, V., Müller, A., Bakker, D.
Birth, survival and death of languages by Monte Carlo simulation (2007)
Schulze, C., Stauffer, D., Wichmann, S.
Simulations of physicists for the competition between adult languages since 2003 are reviewed. How many languages are spoken by how many people? How many languages are contained in various language...
Pairwise comparisons of typological profiles (of languages) (2007)
No abstract given; compares pairs of languages from World Atlas of Language Structures.
Computer-Simulation des Wettbewerbs zwischen Sprachen (2006)
Stauffer, D., Schulze, C., Wichmann, S.
Recent computer simulations of the competition between thousands of languages are reviewed, and some new results on language families and language similarities are presented.
Non-equilibrium and Irreversible Simulation of Competition among Languages (2006)
Stauffer, D., Schulze, C., Lima, F. W. S., Wichmann, S., Solomon, S.
The bit-string model of Schulze and Stauffer (2005) is applied to non-equilibrium situations and then gives better agreement with the empirical distribution of language sizes. Here the size is the...
Isolation of Corynebacterium group JK from clinical specimens with a semiselective medium.
Wichmann, S, Wirsing Von Koenig, C H, Becker-Boost, E, Finger, H
A semiselective medium for the detection of multiresistant lipophilic corynebacteria is described. The medium consisted of tryptose agar, supplemented with Tween 80, lecithin, histidine, glycerol,...
