FrancophonIA/English-French_Cognates

这是一个用于计算方法同步历时研究语言对的新数据库，以及从两种选定语言的同源词时间比较中产生的后续新颖发现。本研究是文献中第一个使用计算方法和大量数据进行跨语言时间分析的研究。该数据库由Google n-gram构建，包含492个英语-法语单词对，包括名词、形容词和副词。每个词对在英语中有1到4种形式，在法语中最多有10种形式。在英语中，大多数形容词和副词只有一个形式，而大多数名词有两种形式（单数和复数）。在法语中，由于有阳性、阴性、单数和复数，大多数名词和形容词可以找到四种不同的表面形式。

This is a new database for computational approaches of synchronized diachronic investigation of language pairs, and subsequent novel findings stemming from the cognates temporal comparison of the two chosen languages. The present study is the first in the literature to use computational approaches and large data to make a cross-language temporal analysis. Taken and computed from google n-grams, a cognate database was constructed with 492 English-French word pairs composed of nouns, adjectives and adverbs. Each pair has between one and four forms in English, and up to ten in French. In English, most words have only one form for adjectives and adverbs, while most nouns have two forms (singular and plural). In French, with masculine and feminine, singular and plural, most nouns and adjectives can be found in four different surface forms.
