Abstract

This paper explores the application of diachronic word embeddings to measure semantic change in Sanskrit literature.

Reality Card

Core Claim

The study successfully applies diachronic word embeddings to Sanskrit, achieving a high accuracy in tracking semantic shifts with 19 out of 21 shifts moving in the philologically attested direction.

Method / Result

19 out of 21 testable shifts were validated directionally (p=0.00011).

Limitations

The approach may face challenges due to the low-resource nature of Sanskrit and the complexities of its phonological and morphological structures.
