On the one hand there are works for cognate detection harnessing computational methods that propose the first step in a (semi-) automatic analysis of cognates using the vast amount of digitally available data, when manual annotation requires a lot of man-hours (Jager et al., 2017; List et al., 2018).
there are semantic analyses of cognates, that manually investigate cognates to look for links between two different languages (List et al., 2018;Aske, 2015).
