“…Such growth has continued since 2000 and it is reflected in the journal itself: Joseph et al 2019 documents further institutional growth in Greek studies and our many dissertation summaries (e.g. Bianconi 2020, in this issue) and our occasional Brief Notices and Recent Publications listings reflect the continu-ing scholarship in the field, including new basic works such as dictionaries (e.g. Charalambakis 2014) and dialect descriptions (e.g.…”

“…Existing approaches for the computational decipherment of non-Aegean and non-Cypriot scripts include (Knight and Yamada 1999;Knight et al 2006;Terras 2006b;Snyder and Barzilay 2008;Snyder 2010;Snyder, Barzilay, and Knight 2010;Berg-Kirkpatrick and Klein 2011;Kim and Snyder 2013;Currey and Karakanta 2016;Deri and Knight 2016;Luo et al 2021). We divide these approaches into 3 categories: (1) those based on the analysis of cognate words, (2) those based on the digitalization of the papyrology process, and (3) those based on using information gathered from high-resource languages.…”

“…This category of approaches encompasses methods based on the discovery and analysis of related words from different languages. It includes the following approaches: (Snyder, Barzilay, and Knight 2010;Berg-Kirkpatrick and Klein 2011;Luo et al 2021). Snyder, Barzilay, and Knight (2010) proposed a method for the automatic decipherment of lost languages that is based on a non-parametric Bayesian framework.…”

This paper provides a detailed insight into computational approaches for deciphering Bronze Age Aegean and Cypriot scripts, namely the Archanes script and the Archanes formula, Phaistos Disk, Cretan hieroglyphic (including the Malia Altar Stone and Arkalochori Axe), Linear A, Linear B, Cypro-Minoan and Cypriot scripts. The unique contributions of this paper are threefold: 1) a thorough review of major Bronze Age Aegean and Cypriot scripts and inscriptions, digital data and corpora associated with them, existing computational decipherment methods developed in order to decipher them, and possible links to other scripts and languages; 2) the definition of 15 major challenges that can be encountered in computational decipherments of ancient scripts; and 3) an outline of a computational model that could possibly be used to simulate traditional decipherment processes of ancient scripts based on palaeography and epigraphy. In the context of this paper the term decipherment denotes the process of discovery of the language and/or the set of symbols behind an unknown script, and the meaning behind it.

Towards a Typology of Contact‐Induced Change: Questions, Problems and the Path Ahead

The fields of linguistic typology, contact linguistics and historical linguistics frequently interact with one another and each draws on the insights gained in the others. To date, however, there is no effective and systematic cooperation between these subdisciplines, no database comparing the typological distribution of features with common outcomes or mechanisms of internal change and the results of contact‐induced change. Seeking to lay the foundation for just such a cooperation, this paper outlines and critically discusses the necessity, advantages and inherent limitations of a typology of contact‐induced change and how it may be used to better understand language change and language contact. It suggests that a database similar to WALS or Grambank, enriched with extra‐linguistic information, would be a suitable starting point for such an endeavour. At the example of contact‐induced morphosyntactic alignment change, some of the concrete issues of compiling a minimal dataset for one change are illustrated and the potential for typological insights highlighted.
