| summary | Language change over time has been researched for decades by historical linguists and, more recently, by computational linguists. Computational modeling of language change enables cross-language comparison of multifaceted changes at a large scale. In this talk, I will start by presenting a method to capture syntactic changes and investigate how similar these changes are in German and English over the past hundred years. Additionally, I will present a method to capture semantic changes, particularly to detect the gained or lost meanings with low frequency over time. I will also showcase the use of our method as a visualization tool to compare cross-language semantic changes in German and English. Lastly, I will present a pathway from computational modeling of language change to computational lexicography by comparing detected word meanings with dictionary sense inventories to identify unrecorded meanings in dictionaries. |
