His most lasting contributions to modern linguistics, though, are the elaboration, with Wave Model of language change and his substantial work laying the foundations of modern creolistics.

So the particle model must explain the behaviour of individual photons in a way that replicates the wave model in the limit of large numbers of photons.
43.
The tree model does not allow for the existence of intersecting subgroups and so is ill-suited to represent linkages : they are better approached using the wave model.
44.
Wind waves are sea surface waves that create the characteristic chaotic pattern of any large body of water, though their statistical behaviour can be predicted with wind wave models.
45.
These two views are exactly parallel to the tree model and wave model of historical linguistics, which are instances of evolutionism and diffusionism, language features being instances of culture.
46.
This was the first confirmed measurement of a freak wave, more than twice as tall and steep as its neighbors with characteristics that fell outside any known wave model.
47.
The ECMWF re-analysis is an example of a combined atmospheric reanalysis coupled with a wave model integration where no wave parameters were assimilated, making the wave part a hindcast run.
48.
In 1850, Hippolyte Fizeau and L�on Foucault measured the speed of light in water and find that it is slower than in air, in support of the wave model of light.
49.
The equation for the conservation of wave action is for instance used extensively in wind wave models to forecast sea states as needed by mariners, the offshore industry and for coastal defense.
50.
This meant that the Earth could travel through the aether, a physical medium, with no apparent effect precisely the problem that led Newton to reject a wave model in the first place.
