TypDB - a collection of typological datasets

Installation

Make sure you have devtools package installed. Then, enter the following command in your R console:

devtools::install_github("IVS-UZH/TypDB")

Usage

TypDB imports a number of typological databases as R data frames. For a list of the available data, see ?TypDB. You can directly use the datasets by referring to them with their names, e.g.

head(glottolog)

TypDB maintains a language code mapping table (?language_ids). This table contains mappings of common language codes, such as ISO 639-3 and Glottolog codes. A utility function is provided for merging different datasets by common language code. See ?typdb.data.merge for more information.

Citing the data

All included datasets are property of their respective owners. TypDB merely includes them in a ready-to-use format for user convenience. Please cite the respective source if you are using the data in a publication.

Acknowledgements

The development of TypDB was funded jointly by the Department of Comparative Linguistics, University of Zürich (Website) and the URPP Language and Space, University of Zurich (Website).
