It presents two approaches to language: traditional geohistorical linguistics (Chapter 1) and modern computational methods, such as geographic information systems (GIS) and statistics (Chapter 2). Combining these methods will provide better access to knowledge about the developmental paths of languages in the future. Genetic, contact-induced, and sporadic changes will be more accessible and presented in a more dynamic way. The book illustrates a path from data collection to realizing this new field by collecting and analyzing field data on the languages of Fiji.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRitsuko Kikusawa\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D. (2000), University of Hawai'i, is Professor at the National Museum of Ethnology.
