Chundra Cathcart and Balthasar Bickel publish chapter in The Oxford Handbook of Approaches to Language Evolution

Their Chapter in The Oxford Handbook of Approaches to Language Evolution "Linguistic evolution in time and space: Addressing the methodological challenges" discusses some potential rapprochements between the families of Bayesian models of linguistic evolution and phylogenetic models. The authors present the results of a case study asessing the effect of phylogeography on linguistic evolution, using a framework of distributional phylogenetic modelling.
