lexicostatistics (n.)

A technique used in GLOTTOCHRONOLOGY with which one attempts to make quantitative comparisons between the rates of change within sets of LEXICAL ITEMS in hypothetically related LANGUAGES, and thus to deduce the distance in time since the languages separated. Other types of lexical comparison (e.g. to determine the mutual intelligibility of languages) may also be referred to by this label.
