Demonstrates improved etymological analysis methods in historical linguistics, highlighting gaps in computational tools.
This study gives a brief overview on formal aspects of etymological analysis, by providing a modified workflow for the classical comparative method in historical language comparison. This workflow is contrasted with the current state-of-the-art in computational historical linguistics, pointing out where computational methods and interactive tools for annotation are lacking, and where they are available already.
