Author(s): Michael, Lev; Chousou‐Polydouri, Natalia | Abstract: In recent years, South Americanist linguists have embraced computational phylogenetic methods to resolve the numerous outstanding questions about the genealogi- cal relationships among the languages of the continent. We provide a critical review of the methods and language classification results that have accumulated thus far, emphasizing the superiority of character-based methods over distance-based ones and the importance of develop- ing adequate comparative datasets for producing well- resolved classifications.

计算系统发育学和南美语言分类

作者：迈克尔，列夫；纳塔利亚，Chousou-Polydouri | 摘要：近年来，南美语言学家开始采用计算机系统发育方法来解决有关该大陆语言之间的谱系关系的众多悬而未决的问题。我们对迄今为止积累的方法和语言分类结果进行了严格的审查，强调了基于字符的方法优于基于距离的方法，以及开发足够的比较数据集以产生良好解析的分类的重要性。
