| Description | This was a scoping project for the phylogenetic analysis of functions and signals. It has been demonstrated that this is not only possible in theory but also in practice, and that, in particular, linguistic analysis can be demonstrably performed not only on text but also on acoustic phonetic data. |
| Exploitation Route | This opens up possibilities of phylogenetic analysis of morphometry data as well as other functional data. Indeed the techniques have already gained further funding, which as led to the production of synthetic languages. |
