It differs from glottochronology in the methods used to construct the tree and compute the dates. |
Despite the outcry, glottochronology is still employed, but in mathematically increasingly complex and conceptually more sophisticated models. |
Unfortunately, the last published glottochronology for all the Caddoan languages dates to the 1960s, before the technique was refined. |
These are not generally accepted by historical linguists, who long ago developed but largely rejected a dating method known as glottochronology. |
The basic fallacy of glottochronology lies in the fact that it a priori assumes that all languages change at the same rate all the time. |
Many of the papers in these volumes show a revival of interest in the much criticised techniques of glottochronology and lexicostatistics. |
