abstract = {{For a long time, metaphors have played an important role in depicting language{\textless}br{\textgreater}history. In this study, we contrast early metaphors on language history, such as the family{\textless}br{\textgreater}tree or the wave model, with recent metaphors that were popularized after the quantitative{\textless}br{\textgreater}turn, such as forests of trees or phylogenetic networks. Speculating about metaphors which{\textless}br{\textgreater}could become important in the future, we conclude that a vivid discussion about the usefulness and the concrete implications of metaphors plays a key role for the development ofmodels for language history in historical linguistics.}},
