Nostratic: Examining a Linguistic Macrofamily
Angebote / Angebote:
This volume of essays examines the claim that a linguistic macrofamily can be identified which includes not only the Indo-European and Afroasiatic language families but also the Kartvelian, Uralic, Altaic and Dravidian families. The Nostratic case was put by Aharon Dolgopolsky in his The Nostratic Macrofamily and Linguitic Palaeontology , and it is here evaluated critically by linguists specialising in the language families concerned. Contents include: The Nostratic Macrofamily (A. Bomhard), Nostratic Languages: Internal and External Relationship (V. Shevoroshkin), Beyond Nostratic in Time and Space (G. Decsy), Nostratic and Linguistic Palaeontology in Methodological Perspective (L. Campbell), Family Trees and Favourite Daughters (A. McMahon, M. Lohr & R. McMahon), Linguistis Palaeontology: For and Against (I. Hegedus), Afroasiatic and the Nostratic Hypothesis (D. Appleyard), The Dravidian Perspective (K. Zvelebil), Altaic Evidence for Nostratic (A. Vovin), On Semitohamitic Comparison (R. Voight), Toward a Future History of Macrofamily Research (D. Sinor).
