Edit distance as a measure of loanword adaptation.

That links to a corrupted (or non-)pdf.

Bioinformatics uses a bit more complex edit distance measures than the traditional one.

That's really understating the difference. From the link you provided:

In a constant gap penalty, every gap receives some predetermined constant penalty, regardless of its length. Thus, the insertion or deletion of 1000 contiguous symbols is penalized equally to that of a single symbol.

That "constant gap penalty" completely changes the dynamics of the algorithm. And thus makes the modfied algorithm useful for finding alignments of subsequences; which the standard edit distance it completely useless for.

The Damerau–Levenshtein algorithm is quite different -- allows/measures transpositions -- to the Levenshtein algorithm -- which does not.
