Abstract

A linguistic atlas is a set of maps which visualize the geographical variation of linguistic features in a single language. We present a novel model for Bayesian statistics which infers when and where the variants of a linguistic feature were invented based on the geographical distribution shown in a linguistic atlas. Based on a spatial network representing the rate of diffusion between locations, our model evaluates the probability (likelihood) that the observed geographical pattern is realized by considering the genealogical relatio
