Abstract

This paper presents a project which aims to provide a new digital instrument for linguistic research. This new tool will be able to show the historical evolution of a language into one or more daughter languages, and it will allow users to perform a comparative and typological analysis of diachronic processes. The originality of this project is given by two factors: first, its developers are linguists with notions in computer science, which prevents any communication issue between different teams of experts; second, the data feeding database, though derived from well known corpora, have been processed in a specialist way to display the evolution of words from a mother language to the daughter languages. The instrument will account for all the diachronic phonological rules which occur during the word change.
