Abstract

The Areal Typology of Languages of the Americas (ATLAs) database encodes 265 linguistic features from 17 different featural domains across 220 North and South American languages and 105 languages in the rest of the world. The domains covered in the database were chosen for their regional relevance, and languages were selected on principles of both phylogenetic diversity and geographic coverage. The features of ATLAs are designed to be logically independent, maximizing the reusability of the data for analytical tools which assume logical independence.

摘要

《美洲语言区域类型学》（ATLAs）数据库对来自220种南北美洲语言以及世界其他地区105种语言的17个不同特征领域的265种语言特征进行了编码。数据库涵盖的领域因其区域相关性而被选定，语言则根据系统发育多样性和地理覆盖范围的原则进行挑选。ATLAs的特征设计为逻辑上相互独立，从而最大限度地提高数据对于假定逻辑独立性的分析工具的可重用性。
