More data to be added

[laiyunfan]

Hi Mattis,

I just found some new wordlists and would like to include them in the database. These include:

• Yaoji Situ (field notes of my student, Li Ruiyao)
• Bragsteng Situ (field notes from myself and Shuya)
• Shimuliu Japhug (Jackson Sun 1996)
• Benzhen (Jackson Sun 1996), 5. Bawang (Yang 2021)

Jackson Sun (1996) is a source that had never been disclosed (although the document says it can be freely used since 2000). A friend of mine from Taiwan found it from the dusted documents in Academia Sinica.

I will keep you updated when these are ready. It shouldn't take long.

Best,

[LinguList]

Nice, so we make an update with these new files plus the one's you sent before, I think I can do this in November. I prefer to update ones. So if you tell me that you're ready, I'll then schedule when to combine those, okay?

[laiyunfan]

Yes, sure!

[laiyunfan]

Hi Mattis, I have uploaded five more wordlists (the descriptions are in the update information). I think that I am now ready for cognacy review once we have included the new wordlists. I will tell you more about my paper plan later on.

[LinguList]

Hi Yunfan. The way in which I would proceed now is:

1. try to write one script to combine all data, using the data that is currently in EDICTOR
2. I can modify parts of the data (language names) upon request for the data in EDICTOR as well
3. I assign 0 cognates for all morphemes in the new data, assuming this is the best way to proceed?

[laiyunfan]

Hi Mattis. I agree with the three points you listed. I believe that it is the most efficient way. Let's do it this way. Thank you very much!

[LinguList]

Can you please list for me all wordlists that are new, and also the names of the languages, and glottocodes?

[laiyunfan]

Sure.

Thanks! Sorry, it should be mBrongrdzongKhroskyabs.tsv. (the warning lacks a d before z)

[LinguList]

@laiyunfan, I update this now, you find a folder called edictor/update/2023-12-13 in this folder, there is the new wordlist, new_data.tsv, please check this in edictor. If you think it is fine, I update the data base online.

[laiyunfan]

Thanks! I will check this as soon as possible.

[LinguList]

I make a PR, so you also see the code (which you should be able to run):

pip install lexibase
pip install pyedictor
pip install lingpy

I think more packages are not needed.

[laiyunfan]

sure, thank you!

[LinguList]

@laiyunfan, I updaed the code, can you check the link? You find it here: https://github.com/lexibank/lairgyalrong/blob/master/edictor/link.md

[LinguList]

Please copy-paste the link, do not click on teh field, that does not work.

[laiyunfan]

Hi, Mattis, the link works for me. Can I review the cognate judgements with this now? (I've been busy marking students' term papers this week, so I am a bit behind schedule, but I'll start quickly)

[LinguList]

Yes, you can!

[laiyunfan]

Thanks!
