New paper introducing the CLICS database and a new blogpost
Today, a new paper by our group and colleagues from the DLCE appeared in the journal Scientific Data, in which we present the third installment of our CLICS database.
Advances in computer-assisted linguistic research have been greatly influential in reshaping linguistic research. With the increasing availability of interconnected datasets created and curated by researchers, more and more interwoven questions can now be investigated. Such advances, however, are bringing high requirements in terms of rigorousness for preparing and curating datasets. Here we present CLICS, a Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications (CLICS). CLICS tackles interconnected interdisciplinary research questions about the colexification of words across semantic categories in the world’s languages, and show-cases best practices for preparing data for cross-linguistic research. This is done by addressing shortcomings of an earlier version of the database, CLICS2, and by supplying an updated version with CLICS3, which massively increases the size and scope of the project. We provide tools and guidelines for this purpose and discuss insights resulting from organizing student tasks for database updates.
The paper, titled "The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications, reproducible analysis of cross-linguistic polysemies" which involves a lot of co-authors and particularly many people from our CALC team, can be found here.
In addition, I published a new German blogpost in which I discuss the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in the light of cross-linguistic data, which you can find here.
