Modeling a Historical Variety of Low-resource Language: Language Contact Effects in the Verbal Cluster of Early-Modern Frisian | ACL 2019

Author: Jelke Bloem, Arjen Versloot, Fred Weerman
Certain phenomena of interest to linguists mainly occur in low-resource languages, such as contact-induced language change. We show that it is possible to study contact-induced language change computationally in a historical variety of a low-resource language, Early-Modern Frisian, by creating a model using features that were established to be relevant in a closely related language, modern Dutch. This allows us to test two hypotheses on two types of language contact that may have taken place between Frisian and Dutch during this time. Our model shows that Frisian verb cluster word orders are associated with different context features than Dutch verb orders, supporting the ‘learned borrowing’ hypothesis.
