What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Anthropology
- Ecology
- Artificial intelligence
Simon J. Greenhill mostly deals with Sociocultural evolution, Genealogy, Vocabulary, Language family and Cultural diversity.
His Sociocultural evolution research incorporates themes from Ecology, Human evolution, Empirical research, Selfishness and Cross-cultural studies.
Genealogy combines with fields such as Remote Oceania, Construct, Near Oceania and Settlement in his work.
His Vocabulary research incorporates elements of Historical linguistics, Phenomenon and Phonetics.
His Language family research integrates issues from Indo-European languages, Steppe and Root.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetics, Archaeological record, Matrilocal residence, Kinship and Austronesian languages in addition to Cultural diversity.
His most cited work include:
- Language Phylogenies Reveal Expansion Pulses and Pauses in Pacific Settlement (481 citations)
- Mapping the origins and expansion of the Indo-European language family (340 citations)
- Mapping the origins and expansion of the Indo-European language family (340 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Sociocultural evolution, Genealogy, Historical linguistics, Vocabulary and Computational linguistics.
His Sociocultural evolution study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Database, Diversity, Inference, Human evolution and Cross-cultural studies.
You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Homeland, Phylogenetic comparative methods, Bayesian probability, Biological dispersal and Settlement, in his Genealogy studies.
His Historical linguistics research also works with subjects such as
- Language family that connect with fields like Indo-European languages,
- Cognate most often made with reference to Natural language processing.
His Vocabulary research focuses on subjects like Phenomenon, which are linked to Cultural variation, Anger and Cognitive psychology.
His Computational linguistics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Variety, Programming language and Information retrieval.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sociocultural evolution (33.70%)
- Genealogy (31.52%)
- Historical linguistics (23.91%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Sociocultural evolution (33.70%)
- Genealogy (31.52%)
- Phylogenetic comparative methods (9.78%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Sociocultural evolution, Genealogy, Phylogenetic comparative methods, Database and Language complexity.
Simon J. Greenhill integrates Sociocultural evolution with Evolutionary linguistics in his research.
His Genealogy research incorporates elements of Cross-cultural studies, Tree, Unobservable, Test and Linguistic evidence.
His study ties his expertise on Phylogenetic inference together with the subject of Phylogenetic comparative methods.
His study in Database is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Computational linguistics, Semantic change and Cross linguistic.
His Language complexity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bantu languages and Indo-European languages.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications, reproducible analysis of cross-linguistic polysemies. (29 citations)
- The Database of Cross-Linguistic Colexifications, reproducible analysis of cross-linguistic polysemies. (29 citations)
- The uses and abuses of tree thinking in cultural evolution. (3 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Anthropology
- Ecology
- Artificial intelligence
His primary areas of investigation include Scope, Computational linguistics, Best practice, Cross linguistic and Semantic change.
There are a combination of areas like Polysemy, Research questions and Database integrated together with his Scope study.
