WordSurv Description

WordSurv is being developed through a partnership between the Computer and Systems Science Department at Taylor University and SIL International. A typical language Survey may involve determining linguistic relationships through the comparison of word lists. WordSurv is designed to aid in this task. It functions in three main areas: 1. entry and maintenance of word lists and cognate decisions, 2. computation of lexicostatistic and phonostatistic measures of Similarity, and 3. output of data and results in various formats. WordSurv also supports the Compass Algorithm to aid in comparative Reconstruction.
