In historical linguistics, the tree model (also Stammbaum, genetic, or cladistic model) is a model of the evolution of languages analogous to the concept of a family tree, particularly a phylogenetic tree in the biological evolution of species.
Some – such as pidgins and creoles (Romaine 1988; Siegel 2008) or mixed languages (Matras and Bakker 2003) – result historically from the encounter of two populations who were driven, under very special social conditions, to combine elements of their respective languages and create a new one.
Nov 5, 2018 · Given that languages evolve through time in a manner similar to the evolution of biological species—through splits, extinctions and horizontal exchange—a language family can be approximated by...

Feb 27, 2016 · After the discovery of DNA and, especially, with the development of population genetics, analogies between languages and genes have been developed and concepts such as “vertical transmission”, “drift”, “clock-like mutation”, and the “founder effect” were applied to both fields.

Cross-cultural studies can provide a test of these alternative hypotheses. Perhaps one of the first multicountry comparisons of age differences in the five major dimensions of personality was conducted in samples from Germany, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, and South Korea (McCrae et al., 1999 ).

Apr 25, 2023 · In the history of evolutionary linguistics, multiple speculations have been made about the origins of language, which are heavily influenced by the researchers’ own understanding of human language, and possible inferences one could make from the available data.
