- Genealogical relations and lexical distances within the Tupian linguistic family Ana Vilacy Galucio Sérgio Meira Joshua Birchall Denny Moore Nilson Gabas Júnior Sebastian Drude Luciana Storto Gessiane Picanço Carmen Reis Rodrigues Antropología distance Tupian family based methods Lexical sublists Historical linguistics in this paper we present the first results of the application of computational methods, inspired by the ideas in McMahon & McMahon (2005), to a dataset collected from languages of every branch of the t upian family (including all living non- tupí- Guaraní languages) in order to produce a classification of the family based on lexical distance. We used both a swadesh list (with historically stabler terms) and a list of animal and plant names for results comparison. in addition, we also selected more (HiHi) and less (LoLo) stable terms from the swadesh list to form sublists for indepedent treatment. We compared the resulting neighbornet networks and neighbor-joining cladograms and drew conclusions about their significance for the current understanding of the classification of t upian languages. one important result is the lack of support for the currently discussed idea of an Eastern-Western division within t upí. 2015 artículo científico 1981-8122 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=394051442004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3940 Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi.
