Intro
LoanPy is a linguistic toolkit developed during the course of my PhD thesis at the University of Vienna, providing solutions for various tasks in historical and contact linguistics, such as:
Mining correspondence patterns from etymological data on the level of phonology and phonotactics
Predicting loanword adaptation (lateral/horizontal transfers) based on heuristics and etymological data
Historical reconstruction of words (vertical transfers) based on etymological data
Evaluating the quality of the predictive models
Searching for potential (old) loanwords between two languages
This toolkit has been designed with ease of use and compatibility in mind, offering a standalone, easy-to-setup, and cross-platform solution that works with Python 3.7 or higher.
